The rain came down

On the tin roof

Hardly

A sound was left

From the birthday party

The kitchen light

Fell asleep

On the bedroom floor

Me and her were talking softer

Than all the time

Before I lost her

Picture sat on top

Of the chest of drawers



Chorus:

One red rose

In the Bible

Pressed between

The Holy alphabet

Probably wouldn't believe you

If you told me

But what I never knew

I never will forget





Rainy nites

Get dark real early

Her dress was soft

And her hair was curly

We danced around the table

To the old banjo

Rainy nites

Were made for lovers

We lay there still

Beneath the covers

And I ain't never felt

Like that before





Chorus
