"The Rain Don't Fall on Me" is a gospel blues song recorded in 1929 by Blind Willie Johnson (vocals and guitar) and Willie B. Harris (vocals), who is thought to have been his first wife.[1][2]

The song could be traditional; but it has been little recorded, and thus seems to be little known.

The Rain Don't Fall on Me is a compilation album released in 2010 by Mississippi Records; it includes the title song.[3]
