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 timeLife 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 timeWhen 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 moreCan’t go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all the timeWhen 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 moreCan’t go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all the time

There’s no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps raining all the timeLife is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can’t get my poor self together
I’m 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 will let me
Walk in the sun once moreCan’t go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps raining 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 moreCan’t go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps raining all the time,
Keeps raining all the time(applauses)
