[Verse 1]
Got a gun in my holster
Got a horse between my knees
And I'm going to Arizona
Pardon me, boys, if you please

[Verse 2]
I have been a desperado
Raped and pillaged 'cross the plain
Now I'm going to Arizona
Just a rider in the rain

[Chorus]
He's a rider in the rain
He's a rider in the rain
And I'm going to Arizona
He's a rider in the rain

[Verse 3]
Oh, my mother's in St. Louis
And my bride's in Tennessee
So I'm going to Arizona
With a banjo on my knee

[Chorus]
He's a rider in the rain
He's a rider in the rain
And I'm going to Arizona
He's a rider in the rain
[Verse 4]
Used to work in uncle's food store
While he was fighting in the war
Now I'm going to Arizona
Ain't gonna work for him no morе

[Verse 5]
I'm the son of the prairie
And thе wind that sweeps the plain
So I'm going to Arizona
Just a rider in the rain

[Chorus]
He's a rider in the rain
He's a rider in the rain
So I'm going to Arizona
He's a rider in the rain
He's a rider in the rain
He's a rider in the rain
And I'm going to Arizona
Just a rider in the rain

[Outro]
Just a rider in the rain
