Lyrics

  1. A pal of mine went calling
    Upon a girl last night
    The rain began to fall and fall
    It rained with all its might
    I met my pal this morning
    And said, “Did you get wet?”
    He looked at me and yelled Oh, gee
    You ain’t heard nothing yet. Oh!

Chorus
Outside the rain was pouring down
I felt mighty blue
Outside the wind was howling round
And she was lonesome, too
Outside we heard the thunder crash
She looked at me and sighed
Though she knew it wasn’t right
She let me stay all night
Yes she did! Outside

  1. I know a lot of fellows
    Whom I could call by name
    Who’ve been out calling rainy nights
    Their story is the same
    In face the other evening
    I made a little call
    Next morning when they questioned me
    Here’s what I said, that’s all, Oh!
