Lyrics
A tribute to the late, great, fabulous Big Mama Thornton
They call it Stormy Monday
And Tuesday's just as bad
Oh, they call it Stormy Monday
And Tuesday's just as bad, oh yeah
Mmm, yes, Wednesday's worse
And Lord, Thursday's also sad
Yeah, Thursday's also sad, y'all
The eagle flies on Friday
And Saturday I go out and play
Said, the eagle flies on Saturday
And Sunday I'll take my man's money, go and play
Oh, and on said Sunday
I'll get on my knees and pray
I cry, "Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, woo, mmm
Have mercy, Lord, have mercy on me"
Can I say it again, y'all?
"Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, ooh-wee-ooh-wee-ooh-wee-ooh-wee
Mmm, have mercy
Have a little mercy on poor me"
Said I'm looking for my baby
And won't somebody please send her on to me
I said send her on to me
If I was an apple
Hanging in the tree
I'd have all you mens
Climbing after me
And when you take a bite
You will holler "Ooh, ain't she sweet?
Oh, ain't she sweet?"
I'd have all you mens, yeah
Yeah, climbing after me
Climbing after me, go ahead
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Play it for me, baby, well
Make it good to mama this morning, honey
Yes, yes, yes
Shake me up, baby
Mmm, yeah, yeah
Yes, oh, yeah, yeah
I was looking out my window
Just staring out at the rain
Lord, have mercy
I was looking out my window
Just staring out at the rain
Oh, you know a ball of lightnin' struck me
Just like a ball and chain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Now they call it Stormy Monday
And Lord, Lord, Tuesday's just as bad
Yeah, yeah, they call it Stormy Monday
And Lord, Tuesday's just as bad, oh yeah
Oh, and Wednesday's worse, yeah
Thursday's also sad
Thursday's also sad
