Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Don’t know why
There’s no sun up in the sky
Stormy Weather
Since my gal and I ain’t together
Keeps rainin’ 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 she went away
The blues walked in and met me
If she 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 gal and I ain’t together
Keeps rainin’ all the time
Keeps rainin’ all the time
