Johnny Rivers - Rainy Night In Georgia Lyrics






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'

    This IS a worthy version, but for me, no one will ever beat Brook Benton's glorious version. ------------It's simply a matter of preference, & I love Johnny's voice, but for this-------------Brook's version, & arrangement is my preference. -------------------------WolfSky9, 73 y/o

    bonnie, I predict he will get into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame, after passing away, then they will be saying all those nice things about him, what a wonderful musician, and person he was. He doesn't need it. He's doing what he was born to do.

  4. g.... ....

    Listen to the duet by Sam Moore & Conway Twitty, a glorious version of this classic.

  5. V.... T....

    Some songs should be left alone to stand on their own.no one will ever top the original !

    R.... C....

    Nobody and I mean nobody can come close Brook Benton's. The song is a moving and beautiful song . In the hands of the right musician it has a life of it's own. JR knocks it out of the park

    R.... C....

    Robyn Culbert. Do you actually mean the original by Tony Joe White??? I think this is a song that has had a lot of good versions over the years, but only one truly great one..... By the fantastic Mr Brook Benton

  14. G.... C....

    P.... ....

    @Ponkpolo
