Heard this today: Montgomery in the Rain

Heard this song on Galaxy sattelite radio, I caught the name; Montgomery in the rain, but didn't get the artist anybody know it? TIA

According to amg it is a Steve Young song that Hank Williams Jr famously did. But I guess being a country song there has probably been several cover versions. From a quick browse there is a current version by K.A. Patterson (Keith Patterson) and the Paradise Band. Assuming it's the same song, it could be that.

Thanks it's the Steve Young version I heard.

. . . is by Steve Young, from his second album, "Seven Bridges Road," the title song of which has been covered a number of times. He is a terrific singer. Here are the lyrics:

Montgomery in the Rain

Well, here I am again,
Down in Montgomery, Alabam.
My luck ain’t never been up,
But I’m used to it down.
So all of you people
Don’t look at me and frown.
I don’t wanna stay here
And I’m just passin’ through your town.
And I just came back here
To see those stained window panes
Before you tear it all down
And bring out your cranes
And I wanted to see
Montgomery in the rain.

Around the streets and old houses
A lot of changes I’ve been through,
From the top of the town
To washin’ cars and being down, out and blue,
I once met a woman here
With ways like I’d never seen
And I used to love to ramble
Between here and New Orleans
So I just come back here
To remember a joy and a pain
And look back to a year
Through a teary old window pane
And I wanted to see
Montgomery in the rain.

So you don’t have to hide your baby
You don’t have to go get no gun
I know I look funny to you all,
But honey, I’m just one
Who was once from here
And now who’s come back again
And I ain’t askin’ for nothing
But my song in a cemetery wind
‘Cause if it’s all right with you
before I get back on my train
I want to out to Hank’s tombstone
And cry me up a thunderstorm chain!
‘Cause I didn’t want to see
Montgomery in the rain.
