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

Life is bad
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor self together
Keeps raining all of the time

When he went away
The blues came in and met me
Ihe stays away
Old rocking chair's gonna get me

All I do is pray
The Lord will let me
Walk in the sun once more

Can't go on
Everything I have is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all of the time
