RAINDROPS KEEP FALLIN' ON MY HEAD (BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID, 1969)


"You just keep thinkin' Butch. That's what you're good at."
- Sundance Kid

One of the most iconic films of all time also has one of the most memorable themes ever put on the screen. Paul Newman and Robert Redford star as the titular characters, Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid as leaders of the infamous Hole-in-the-Wall Gang. B.J. Thomas sung the theme that has become part of movie history.The song won the Oscars for best original song and nominated at the Golden Globe for the same category. A classic.


RAINDROPS KEEP FALLIN' ON MY HEAD
sung by: B.J. Thomas

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
[trumpet]

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
