The Lyrics…

There’s a storm rollin’ over the hill

And the willow trees are blowin’

I’m standin’ here starin’ out the window

Safe and warm

I feel her put her arms around me

And its a good-feelin‘ I’m knowin’

Oh, I’ve got a good woman and we’ve got a good fire goin’

We’ve got a feast on the supper table

Bread for breakin’

A blessing from the Lord for makin’ me such a fortunate man

The light of my life in the candle

Her face a glowin’

Oh, I’ve got a good woman and we’ve got a good fire goin’

So let it rain

(the rain fall down)

Let it rain

It won’t do nothin’ but kindle a never ending flame

Let it rain

(the rain fall down)

Let it rain til mornin’

Oh, I’ve got a good woman and we’ve got a good fire goin’

Now there’s a hard rain fallin’ on the roof

Coffee comin’ from the kitchen

I’m lyin’ here listenin’ to the ceiling on the living room floor

I feel her lay down beside me

My love is overflowin’

Oh, I’ve got a good woman and we’ve got a good fire goin’
