From Wikipedia: 

"It Ain't Gonna Rain No Mo'" is the title of a song that is entirely the creation of the "Red-Headed Music Maker", guitarist and vocalist Wendell Woods Hall (1896–1969).. Hall's 1923 recording of the song was popular in Britain and sold in excess of two million copies.[1] Additionally, it scored 20 weeks on the U.S. charts, six at number one.[2]

Many antecedents exist from the 19th century. By the 1920s many variants were already extant in popular culture. Carl Sandburg suggests that the song goes back at least to the 1870s and includes verses in his "American Songbag (published 1927). This song is an excellent example of the folk tradition of transmission with local variants. Mr. Hall most likely codified what already existed and added original verses.




Apparently this was written without the knowledge of the Will Lyle recording.

We are most familiar with the Victor recording, but Wendell Halle recorded it also on 4 oktober 1923 for Edison as part of a recording of "I'm a Red Headed Music Maker".
This recording sounds a little bit like a part of the Wendell Hall Show. Everything is in the dl file.
