Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They call it Stormy Monday, but Tuesday's just as bad
They call it Stormy Monday, but Tuesday's just as bad
Wednesday's worse, Lord, and Thursday's all so sad
[Verse 2]
The eagle flies on Friday, and Saturday, I go out to play
Yes, the eagle flies on Friday, and Saturday, I go out to play
Sunday I go to church, and I kneel down and pray
[Chorus]
And this is what I say, baby
"Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me"
You know I cried
"Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me"
You know I'm tryin', tryin' to find my baby
Won't somebody please send her home to me?
[Chorus]
Well, I cried
"Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy on me"
I said I cried
"Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy on me"
You know I'm tryin', tryin' to find my baby
Won't send her home to me, oh, yeah
Written by: Billy Eckstine, Bob Crowder, Earl "Fatha" Hines
