Rain, drop down, drop down, smelling like drops of rain
Rain, drop down, drop down, smelling like drops of rain
Lord, every once in a while I think I hear my baby call my name (What does she say, boy?)

I ain't gonna tell you no more (Let me tell you, Lord)
I ain't gonna tell you no more (Ain't, now)
Just stay away from my window, mama stop knockin' on my door

Well I ain't been your good man since you have been my Jane (I say oh now let me tell you)
I ain't been your good man, mama, since you have been my Jane (Hey now)
Now you want me to do, since I ain't gonna change (Lord lord lord lord)

I stuck with you, mama, when you did not have no man at all
I stuck with you, mama, when you did not have no man at all

Now baby you must want me for to be your low-down dog

Lord, I can sit right here, partner, look on Culligan Avenue (I say oh now let me tell you)
I can sit right here, partner, and look on Culligan Avenue (Hey now)

Lord, I can see everything that my easy roller do (Lord lord lord lord)
