(Brook Benton)

Hoverin' by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night

Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin' "It's all right."

A rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia

It seems like it's rainin' all over the world

I feel like it's rainin' all over the world

Neon signs a-flashin', taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night

A distant moanin' of a train seems to play a sad refrain to the night

A rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia

Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world

I feel like it's rainin' all over the world

How many times I wondered

It still comes out the same

No matter how you look at it or think of it

It's life and you just got to play the game

I find me a place in a box car, so I take my guitar to pass some time

Late at night when it's hard to rest I hold your picture to my chest and I feel fine

But it's a rainy night in Georgia, baby, it's a rainy night in Georgia

I feel it's rainin' all over the world, kinda lonely now

And it's rainin' all over the world

Oh, have you ever been lonely, people?

And you feel that it was rainin' all over this man's world

You're talking 'bout rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin',

rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin' rainin', rainin', rainin'
