Lyrics:
The Rain Don't Fall On Me [Version (a)]:
Oh let it rain
Oh let it rain
Oh rain, don't fall on me
Oh rain
Don't let it rain
Oh rain
Don't let it rain
Oh rain, don't fall on me
He gave it to you
He gave it to you
He gave it to you
For your children too
Oh let it rain
Oh let it rain
Oh rain don't fall on me
Oh let it rain
Oh let it rain
Oh rain, don't fall on me
Oh rain
Don't let it rain
Oh rain
Don't let it rain
Oh rain, don't fall on me
He gave it to you
He gave it to you
He gave it to you
For your children too
Oh let it rain
Oh let it rain
Oh rain don't fall on me
The Song:
"The Rain Don't Fall On Me" is originally a Blind Willie Johnson song.
Beck's cool cover can be found on an old tape from 1990, which appears to be an informal recording of friends getting together and singing songs. Near the end, Beck plays a short series of three Blind Willie Johnson songs. Even at an early age, he was quite adept at acoustic delta blues.
