Bessie Smith - Keeps On A-Rainin' (Papa, He Can't Make No Time) Lyrics
Artist: Bessie Smith
Album: Miscellaneous
Genre: Blues
- Songwriters: Max Kortlander, Spencer Williams
One dark and stormy night
Big John was feeling blue
Ain't he didn't seem right
So he didn't know just what to do
I said, "Do please tell me
Ain't you satisfied?"
He looked around so pitiful
And to me he replied
Keeps on raining
Look how it's raining
Daddy, he can't make no time
Wind keeps blowing
Cold wind's blowing
Soon I'll find
In the winter time
When it starts to snow
I know, best an'
You've got to have some dough
Keeps on raining
I know how it's raining
Daddy, he can't make no time
"Ain't the rain just beautiful?"
Some people say
But I'd rather see it
In a fine movie place
Keeps on raining
Look, how it's raining
Daddy, he can't make no time
No, your daddy, he can't make no time
In the Know
