G D The rain came down on the tin roof; C D Hardly a sound was left from the birthday party. C D G D The kitchen light fell asleep on the bedroom floor. G D Me and her were talking softer C D Than all the time before I lost her. C D G Picture sat on the top of the chest-of-drawers. C D G One red rose in the Bible, C G D /Db Pressed between the Holy Alphabet. C D G Probably wouldn't believe you if you told me, C D G But what I never knew I never will forget.
Rainy nights get dark real early.
Her dress was soft and her hair was curly.
We danced around the table to the old banjo.
Rainy nights were made for lovers.
We lay there still beneath the covers.
And I ain't never felt like that before.
One red rose in the Bible,
Pressed between the Holy Alphabet.
Probably wouldn't believe you if you told me,
But what I never knew I never will forget.
One red rose in the Bible,
Pressed between the Holy Alphabet.
Probably wouldn't believe you if you told me,
But what I never knew I never will forget.
What I never knew I never will forget.
(Words and music by John Prine, 1980)
