STORMY WEATHER (Keeps Rainin' All The Time)

Leo Reisman with Harold Arlen



- words by Ted Koehler, music by Harold Arlen

- written in 1933 for Cab Calloway

- sung by Ethel Waters in the Cotton Club Revue in 1933



Don't know why

There's no sun up in the sky

Stormy weather

Since my gal and I ain't together

Keeps raining all the time

Life is bare

Gloom and misery everywhere

Stormy weather

Just can't get my poor old self together

I'm weary all the time

Every time

So weary all of the time

When she went away

The blues walked in and then they met me

If she stays away

That old rocking chair's bound to get me

All I do is pray

The lord above will let me

Just walk in that sun again

Can't go on

Everything I had is gone

Stormy Weather

Since my gal and I ain't together

Keeps raining all the time

Keeps raining all of the time
