(G)The woman I love,
(C)took from my best friend
(G)Some joker got lucky,
stole her back (C)again
You better come on (D)in my kitchen babe,
it's (C)goin' to be rainin' (lead run-down to G) outdoors

Oh, she's gone,
I know she won't come back
I've taken the last nickel
out of her nation sack
You better come on in my kitchen,
baby, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors

(Harp lead followed by sax lead)

Oh, can't you hear that wind howl?)
Can't you hear that wind howl?
You better come on in my kitchen,
baby, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors

When a woman gets in trouble,
everybody throws her down
Lookin' for her good friend,
none can't be found
You better come on in my kitchen,
baby, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors

(Guitar lead)

Winter time's comin',
it's goin' to be slow
You can make the winter,
babe, that's dry long so
You better come on in my kitchen,
(Instruments stop)
'cause it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
(All instrument run down to end)
