The rain came down
On the tin roof
Hardly

A sound was left
From the birthday party
The kitchen light

Fell asleep
On the bedroom floor
Me and her were talking softer

Than all the time
Before I lost her
Picture sat on top

Of the chest of drawers

Chorus:

One red rose
In the Bible
Pressed between

The Holy alphabet
Probably wouldn't believe you
If you told me

But what I never knew
I never will forget


Rainy nights
Get dark real early
Her dress was soft

And her hair was curly
We danced around the table
To the old banjo

Rainy nights
Were made for lovers
We lay there still

Beneath the covers
And I ain't never felt
Like that before


Chorus:
