Stormy Weather

Brenda Lee · Too Many Rivers [Decca] [1965]

(Ted Koehler - Harold Arlen)



Don't know why there's no sun

Up in the sky, stormy weather

Since my man and I ain't together

Keeps raining all the time.



Life is bare gloom and misery

Everywhere stormy weather

Just can't get my poor self together

I'm weary all the time the time

So weary all the time.



When he went away

The blues walked in and met me

If he stays away

Old rocking chair will get me.



All I do is pray the Lord above

Will let me walk in the sun once more.



Can't go on, everything I had is gone

Stormy weather

Since my man and I ain't together

Keeps raining all the time the time

Keeps raining all the time.



--- Instrumental ---



Can't go on, everything I had is gone

Stormy weather

Since my man and I ain't together

Keeps raining all the time the time

Keeps raining all the time...
