John does another verse to this song...... and it goes something like..... "" These sothern storms blo locals dark blu in height, Black clouds ,twisting oars as it goes flashing by....like some deep religious painting hanging in the sky.....that u just touch by faith and break down and cry, break down and cry...if they should ever come down your way, want u grab em by the throat and say......won't u please explain.....this saddle in the rain........,,I would like to know if there is anyone out there who knows what the real lyrics actually say??? This is just what it sounds like they are saying. I really love the song, and I am a John Prine Fan with much respect for the man and his lyrics. For that reason alone.....I'd like to be sure of the lyrics......and I'd like to know if anyone knows why the lyrics are not included

Saddle In The Rain notes:
That's another song about friendships and relationships, and being let down. Ever since I can remember, when I was a small kid, anytime I had a friend who really let me down, it would affect me. The disappointment was always large with me. So I guess that's why that's a theme I go back to every once in a while.
I don't do it with a lot of bitterness. If I'm going to nail somebody, I like...

I don't do it with a lot of bitterness. If I'm going to nail somebody, I like to make sure that I give them all the rope in the world, along with a speech about their better points. So they'll know I wrote it because I liked them. Like, "This is going to hurt me a lot more than it's going to hurt you."
That extra verse:
Southern stars blow lonesome
still dark blue and high
black clouds shifting orange
as they go passing by
like some cheap religious painting
hanging in the sky
you just touch my face
and I wanna break right down and cry
break down and cry
if she should ever come down this way
grab her by the throat and say
won't you please explain
my saddle in the rain....
farmer's nympho daughter moans
let's do it til the cows come home.
