It's a cold, cold morning, I was out in the rain and snow
It's a cold, cold morning, I was out in the rain and snow
Yes, in a world of trouble, I couldn't find no place to go

The wind was blowing and the rain began to freeze
The wind was blowing and the rain began to freeze
So much of trouble, Lord, have mercy on me

Standing on the corner, my friends all was passing by
Standing on the corner, my friends all was passing by
Well, I cried so much, Lord, I didn't have no tears to dry

My brother, he's in trouble, my dad he just broke jail
My man, he's in trouble, and the law is on his trail
It's a cold, cold morning, and I'm out in the rain and snow
Yes, in a world of trouble, I had no place to go
