Stormy Weather
Ted Koehler (w), Harold Arlen (m)
Cotton Club Parade, 1933
Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky,
Stormy weather,
Since my man and I ain't together,
Keeps rainin' all the time,
Life is bare,
Gloom and mis'ry ev'rywhere,
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 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,
Ev'rything I had is gone,
Stormy weather,
Since my mand I ain't together,
Keeps rainin' all the time,
Keeps rainin' all the time.
