Lyrics Keeps On a Rainin' (Papa He Can't Make No Time) - Billie Holiday

One dark and stormy night
Big John was feeling blue
Ain't he didn't seem right
So he didn't know just what to do

I said do please tell me
Ain't you satisfied?
He looked around so pitiful
And to me he replied

Keeps on raining, look how it's raining
Daddy, he can't make no time
Wind keeps blowing, cold wind's blowing
Soon I'll find

In the winter time when it starts to snow
I know, Billy, you've got to have some dough
Keeps on raining, I know how it's raining
Daddy, he can't make no time

"Ain't the rain just beautiful?"
Some people say
But I'd rather see it
In a fine movie place

Keeps on raining
Look how it's raining
Your daddy, he can't make no time
No, daddy, he can't make no time
