STORMY WEATHER (Keeps Rainin' All The Time)
(Ted Koehler, Harold Arlen)
CAB CALLOWAY, ETHEL WATERS (1933)

Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man (gal) 'n I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time

Life is bare
Gloom 'n misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor self together
I'm weary all the time, the time
So weary all of the time

When he (she) went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he (she) stays away
That old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Walk in the sun again

Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man (gal) 'n I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time

I walk around heavy hearted 'n sad
Night comes around 'n I'm still feelin' bad
Rain pourin' down 'n blindin' every hope I had
This pitterin', patterin', beatin', 'n spaterin' drives me mad
Love, love, love, love
This misery is just to much for me

Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man (gal) 'n I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all the time
