Words and music by Van Morrison

Who drove the red sports car from the mansion

And laid upon the grass in summer time

And who done me out high time fashion

And made me read between the lines

And who said follow the man it's your only chance

Sit on your throne, you got to make it on your own, on your own



And who said

Look at you, look at you

You got jam on your face and

Who did your homework and read your Bible,

And signed your name everyplace and

Who said fortunes untold don't go by gold,

You're much better known

You got to make it on your own, on your own.



And do you remember, do you remember

I said a long time ago when I came walkin' down

I came walkin' down

Maggie's place

It started comin' on rain,

It started comin' on rain,

'Cause I had nothin' on but a shirt

And a pair of pants

And I was gettin' wet,

And I was gettin' wet,

Saturated, saturated

And Maggie opened up the window

And Jane swung out her right arm,

She said, Hi! I said, Hi! ya.

How're your doin' baby.

She said, Come on in out of the rain

Come on in out of the rain, Lord,

Come on in out of the rain.



Sit down by the fireside

Dry yourself,

Do, do it,

I got caught,

I got caught,

In a bag
