I woke up early in the morning
Just to hear the sound of the blue rain fall, all around
I woke up this morning
Saw the blue rain fall
Lord, I woke up this morning
Some folk didn't wake up at all
Had that blues for my breakfast
Blues in my head
You dressed me and possessed me
Man, you know that I ain't dead
Woke up in the morning
Saw the blue rain fall

Lord, I woke up this morning
Some folk didn't wake up at all
God knows I ain't complainin'
Sometimes I still do
When the rain falls with a vengeance
Separatin' me from you
I woke up this morning
Just like I'm used to do

Crawled outta bed, what am I supposed to do?
Heaven's tears fallin', Lord, help me love like You

If I can stop one heart from breakin'
Shall not live in vain
Ease one life from achin'
Or cool warm pain
Help one faintin' robin
Into his nest again
I shall not live in vain
So, what about the rain?
Without it nothin' grows at all
Wakin' up in the mornin'
Thankful for that blue rain fall
Blue rain fall, oh-ohh
