Rainy Day Blues
RAINY DAY BLUES
Today is a rainy day
It makes me sad and blue
If the sun would drive the clouds away
I'd look for something to do
But wait, I know a neighbor
Who's crippled and cannot walk
It really involves no labor
For me to visit and sit and talk
Then, of course, there's Mrs. Jones
Over on Maple Street
With arthritis in her bones
And gout swelling her feet
And how about Mr. McCord
In the local nursing home
Whose wife went to be with the Lord
And left him all alone
If I visit each of them today
To catch up on all the news
I'll be grateful that I found a way
To end my rainy day blues
