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.

Just can't get my poor self together, keeps breakin' all the time, 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,

Since my gal and I ain't together, keeps rainin' all the time.
Talk to me guitar! [spoken words – Lonnie Johnson]

Oh Lord, I can't go on, all I have in life is gone - stormy weather.
