You better come on into my kitchen

'Cause it's sure to be rainin' outdoors

When a woman's in trouble everybody puts her down

She looks for her good man, Lord, he can't be found

You better come on into my kitchen

'Cause it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors

There's a cold wind blowin', leaves tremblin' on the trees

Don't you know that that good girl, ya, she's leaving me?

You better come on into my kitchen

'Cause it's going to be rainin' outdoors

The woman I've been lovin' left with my best friend

That joker got lucky, stole her back again

You better come on into my kitchen

'Cause it's going to be raining outdoors

Well, that good girl's leavin', she ain't comin' back

Took her last nickel from her notion sack

You better come on into my kitchen

'Cause it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors

Mama's dead and gone, father's nowheres to be

I ain't got nobody to love and care for me

You better come on into my kitchen

'Cause it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors

Yes, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors

Yes, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
