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 man and I ain’t together, keeps rainin’ all the time.
[Interlude] I walk around, heavy hearted and sad.
Night comes around, and I’m still feelin’ bad.
Rain pourin’ down, blindin’ ev’ry hope I had.
This pitterin’, patterin’, beatin’, and splatterin’
Drives me mad. Love, love, love, love.
This misery is just too much for me.
Can’t go on. Ev’rything I had is gone, stormy weather,
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps rainin’ all the time.
