Don't know why
there's no sun up in the sky
stormy weather
since my gal 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
every time
so weary all of the time
when she went away
the blues walked in and then they met me
if she stays away
that old rocking chair's bound to get me
all i do is pray
the lord above will let me
just walk in that sun again
can't go on
everything i had is gone
stormy weather
since my gal and i ain't together
keeps raining all the time
keeps raining all of the time
