Hoverin' by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy
rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin' "It's all right."
A
rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia
It seems like it's
rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the
world
Neon signs a-flashin', taxi cabs and buses passin' through the
night
A distant moanin' of a train seems to play a sad refrain to the
night
A rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord,
I believe it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin'
all over the world
How many times I wondered
It still comes out
the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
It's life and
you just got to play the game
<instrumental interlude>
I
find me a place in a box car, so I take my guitar to pass some time
Late
at night when it's hard to rest I hold your picture to my chest and
I
feel fine
(minor scat) But it's a rainy night in Georgia, baby, it's
a rainy night
in Georgia I
feel it's rainin' all over the world,
kinda lonely now And it's rainin'
all over the
world
Oh, have
you ever been lonely, people?
And you feel that it was rainin' all
over this man's world
You're talking 'bout rainin', rainin', rainin',
rainin', rainin',
rainin', rainin',
rainin', rainin' rainin',
rainin', rainin' <etc. to end>
這首歌是1962年由Tony Joe White所寫的,在1970年節奏藍調歌手Brook Benton所唱。在那時候Benton已經沒有那麼紅了,所以換了唱片公司,他在1969年11月灌錄這首歌。這首歌放在《Brook Benton Today》這張專輯裡,這帶有濃濃愁思的歌曲馬上就暢紅了。許多歌手都有錄製這首歌。Benton他的舒適的男中音,聽起來真的有憂鬱的感覺呢。
