Lyrics
- Haven’t seen a Rainbow
Since I’ve been away
All my skies are cloudy
Raining every day
But soon I’ll find a rainbow
‘Cause I’m gonna go
To a little Paradise
Where Rainbows glow, so
Chorus:
Let it rain, let it pour
There ain’t no rain where I’m headin’ for
I’ll be in Virginia in the morning
Where the sky’s always blue
The bright sunshine seems to welcome you
When that dewy Dixie day is dawning
There I’ll meet my sweet forget-me-not
There is where I’ll live and love a lot
I’m shouting, Let it rain, let it pour
Say! I won’t cry but I’ll smile once more
I’ll be in Virginia in the morning
- All my worry’s over
No more feeling blue
I was just a Roer
And I never knew
How much a kind and true friend
Means, but now I know
One more day and my old Pal
Will say, “Hello”, so
Chorus:
Let it rain, let it pour
There ain’t no rain where I’m headin’ for
I’ll be in Virginia in the morning
Casey Jones, he’s my friend
He’ll wake me up at my journey’s end
When that dewy Dixie day is dawning
Picture me when I get off that train
In my dear old Mammy’s arms again
Say if you see a pin, pick it up
‘Cause I found one and I had good luck
I’ll be in Virginia in the morning
