"All I Needed Was The Rain" lyrics

"All I Needed Was The Rain"
(originally by Elvis Presley)

Hello misfortune
How's my old friend Mr. misery?
I've been away so long
I bet you thought you'd seen the last of me

I got no bed to rest my head
No doors or walls or window pane
Now all I needed was the rain, hey hey

If it was winter [?]
My kind [?] I'd grind up with a fork
If I would chatter to the [?] train
With [?] New York

Broke and bent, I got no rent
I'm battered like a weather vein
And all I needed was the rain, hey hey, hey

Met a little honey
At the "Buzzin' Bumble Bee Cafe"
One drink and all my money
And that honey bee had flown away

I'm 'bout as low, as I can go
I don't really mean to complain
But all I needed was the rain, hey hey, hey
Hey hey, hey
All I needed was the rain, hey hey, hey hey hey
