It was a dark and stormy night, and the rain was falling down (2x).
I went looking for my baby, I went stumbling through the town.

My baby’s gone, and she did not even say goodbye (2x).
A big black bird flew across the sky.

I heard some big men talking, round the corner, out of sight. (2x)
They left me stumbling in the darkness, while they were laughing in the light.
