I DON'T MIND WALKING IN THE RAIN
Hoffman / Rich

as rec by Kate Smith w Ben Selvin & his Orch  
Aug 27th 1929 New York


It's raining, raining,
I hope it rains all day long!
Raining, raining,
My heart keeps singing this song;

I don't mind walkin' in the rain
When I'm walkin' in the rain with you;
I just smile at a weather vane
Whenever there's a storm in view!

I used to ask poor Mister Rain, "Please go away!",
Now I grin and welcome him, "Come every day!";
I don't mind walkin' in the rain
When I'm walkin' in the rain with you;

I don't mind walkin' in the rain
When I'm walkin' in the rain with you;
I just smile at a weather vane
Whenever there's a storm in view!

I used to ask poor Mister Rain, "Please go away!",
Now I grin and welcome him, "Come every day!";
I don't mind walkin' in the rain
When I'm walkin' in the rain with you;

I don't mind walkin' in the rain,
We go walkin' down the lane
Walkin' in the rain with you;
I just smile at a weather vane
Whenever there's a storm in view!

I used to ask poor Mister Rain to please go away,
Now I grin and welcome him to come every day!
I don't mind walkin' in the rain
When I'm walkin' in the rain with you!
