Oh every time it rains
It rains pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains
Pennies from heaven
You'll find your fortune
Fallin' all over town
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
It you want the things you love
You must have showers
So when you hear it thunder
Don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven
For you and me
The world was bright when you loved me
Sweet was the touch of your lips
The world went dark when you left me
And then there came a total eclipse
Nobody knows how cruel fate can be
How close together love and can be
Goodbye, just clean the slate for me
That's life I guess

"Pennies From Heaven" was wrote by Arthur Johnson and Jonny Burke. It was originally sang by Bing Crosby, then Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, and many others!

Well, the movie of the same name... "Pennies from Heaven".... was made by MGM in 1955 (MGM's first musical, got nominated for a 3 Oscars I think)). The song, "Pennies from Heaven", written by Johnny Burke and Arthur Johnson is heard several times in the film, including a rather obvious lip-synch job sung in reality by Arthur Tracy.
The answer to the question though: one of my favorite blues songs ever, "Pennies from Heaven" by Burke & Johnson, was recorded by one of the ultimate blues singers of all time, the immortal Billie Holiday. Other jazz/blues version were done by Louis Armstrong and other big band singers of the era.
