Little White Cloud that Cried
Johnny Ray (1951)
This is my first. It's based on my ear and watching some guy butcher/cover it on
YouTube. This is for my Mom and Dad.
C Dm
I went walkin' down by the river
G6 C
Feeling very sad inside
C Dm
When all at once I saw in the sky
G6 C
The little white cloud that cried
C Dm
He told me he was very lonesome
G6 C
And no one cared if he lived or died
C Dm
And said sometimes the thunder and lightning
G6 C Dm
Make all little clouds hide
Am7 Dm
He said "Have faith in all kinds of weather"
Am7 C G
"For the sun will always shine"
C G
"Do your best and always remember"
G6 C G
"The dark clouds pass with time"
C Dm
He asked me if I'd tell all the world
C Dm
Just how hard those little clouds try
G6 Am7
That's how I know I'll always remember
C Dm Am7 G
The little white cloud that sat right down and cried
