Stormy Monday - James Booker

They called it stormy Monday

And Tuesday’s just as bad

They called it stormy Monday

Tuesday’s just as bad

Wednesday’s the worst

And Thursday’s also sad

Well, the eagle flies on Friday

And Saturday I go out and play

Don’t you know that the eagle flies on Friday

And Saturday I go out and play

Sunday I’ll go to church

Then I’ll kneel down on my knees and I’ll pray

Oh Lord, help me

Lord, have mercy

Lord, have mercy on me

Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy

Lord, have mercy on me

Said I done searched the whole world over

And I can’t find my lover nowhere

Oh Lord

Said I cried, Lord have mercy

Lord have mercy on me

Said I cried, Lord have mercy

Lord have mercy on me

Send my baby back

Or I will live in misery

Oh Lord, hey hey
