Stormy Weather (take 1) (1960)

Say, is it, Elmer, I got one, I got one for you, got one to kill you, man,
got one to kill you, watch this one, G … [spoken words – Lonnie Johnson]

Don't know why, there's no sun up in the sky - stormy weather.
Since my gal and I ain't together, keeps rainin' all the time.

Life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere - stormy weather.
Just can't get my poor self together, keeps breakin' all the time, all the time.
I'm so weary all the time.

Now, since she went away, blues walked in and met me.
If she 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.

Oh Lord, I can't go on, everything in life is gone - stormy weather.
Since my gal and I ain't together, keeps rainin' all the time.

Talk to me guitar! [spoken words – Lonnie Johnson]

Now, since she went away, blues walked in and met me.
And if she 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.

Oh Lord, I can't go on, all I have in life is gone - stormy weather.
Since my gal and I ain't together, keeps rainin' all the time.
