Lyrics
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 old 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 rockin’ 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 rainin’ all the time
Keep rainin’ all of the time
I walk around
Heavy-hearted and sad
Night comes around
And I’m still feelin’ bad
Rain pourin’ down
Blindin’ every hope I had
This pitterin’ patterin’
Beatin’ an’ spatterin’ drives me mad
Love, love, love, love
This misery is just too much for me
Can’t go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps rainin’ all the time
Keep rainin’ all the time
