Rainin' on the ocean

Stormin' on the sea

Rainin' on the ocean

And it’s stormin' on the sea

Blues in that shower

Is showering down on me

Come back, baby

Won’t be bad, no more

Come back baby, woo-ooo

Won’t be bad no more

I’ll sing on my knees

An I’ll follow anywhere you go

(piano and guitar)

Mean ol' fireman, good old engineer

Mean old fireman, woo-ooo, good old engineer

They took my baby 'way

And left me standin' here
