[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
Can't go on, everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps rainin' all the time
Keeps rainin' all the time
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 4]
Can't go on, everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps rainin' all the time
Keeps rainin' all the time
