They call it Stormy Monday
But Tuesday's just as bad.
They call it Stormy Monday
But Tuesday's just as bad.
Lord, and Wednesday's worse
And Thursday's all so sad.
The eagle flies on Friday,
Saturday I go out to play.
The eagle flies on Friday,
Saturday I go out to play.
Sunday I go to church,
Gonna kneel down and pray.
Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy on me.
Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy on me.
Though I'm tryin' and tryin' to find my baby,
Won't someone please send her home to me.
But Tuesday's just as bad.
They call it Stormy Monday
But Tuesday's just as bad.
Lord, and Wednesday's worse
And Thursday's all so sad.
The eagle flies on Friday,
Saturday I go out to play.

Won't someone please send her home to me.
| trek_29er (western carolina) | Posted: May 16, 2013 - 14:01 just amazing how duane packed a lifetime worth of guitar into a few short years.his natural talent was unrivaled |
| Lazarus (Bethany) | Posted: May 16, 2013 - 09:34 Amazing that T-Bone Walker wrote and recorded this song originally in 1947... the 12 bar blues format is jazzed up with 9th chords... this is a really beautiful song, which is also known as "Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just As Bad)"... the Allman Brothers live cover of this song on their album in 1971 called At Fillmore East is one of the greatest covers of any song in the history of our solar system... time flies when we're having fun...  |
| Fi-Wi (De Bilt, the Netherlands) | Posted: May 16, 2013 - 09:33 Great album from a great year. Here are the points from the Netherlands: ............. 9! |
| ch83575 | Posted: May 16, 2013 - 09:32 Its like listening to another persons soul. The guitar is just the conduit. |
| DanO-1 (Over a mile high, New Mexico) | Posted: May 16, 2013 - 09:30 For the 13 that rated this song a 1, please leave RP and never come back.  |
| PFM (wherever I am) | Posted: Mar 14, 2013 - 15:45 Amazing concert band! |
| BigIslandBlues | Posted: Mar 14, 2013 - 15:42 A great way to get your daily requirement of B3. Oh yeah! |
| d-don (Oregon) | Posted: Mar 14, 2013 - 15:40 One of the greatest live albums ever recorded. 10 |
| unclehud (now 50 feet above the planet in Boston) | Posted: Mar 14, 2013 - 15:38 "Actually it's a T Bone Walker song ..." is like a Pavlovian stimulus to me. Brain shuts down, eyes slit, ears tune in as sharply as possible, and my inner sunshine turns up to max. See y'all in a few minutes. |

| kaviksdad (Mission Control...) | Posted: Feb 11, 2013 - 07:01 One of the best performances, on one of the finest (if not the finest) live recording of the rock era. |
| jmkate (nearly under a stack of books) | Posted: Feb 11, 2013 - 06:58 Wonderful! |
| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Feb 11, 2013 - 06:52 Does Bill know it's a stormy, rainy, bleak Monday in NYC? |
| helgigermany (Germany) | Posted: Jan 10, 2013 - 22:37 I love this music! |
| Lazarus (Bethany) | Posted: Jan 10, 2013 - 22:34 still absolutely incredible... still love it... |

Completely agree with lemmoth and with Proclivities statement about this inane comment as well! |

| Proclivities (Carrboro, NC) | Posted: Jul 06, 2012 - 08:58 Shesdifferent wrote: I had to suffer through Muddy Waters to get to this great song...thank you! That's why it's the blues. Oddly, Duane Allman likely also "suffered" through Muddy Waters (and others) to learn to play like this. |
| blotto (127.0.0.1) | Posted: Jul 06, 2012 - 08:53 Now this is good. |
| idiot_wind | Posted: Jul 06, 2012 - 08:50 Ok...what's going on? An Elmore James tune cover by the greatest rock n blues band ever...in their prime...following Muddy Waters? How about some Little Feat next. |

Time to update to a CD, burn a few MP3 files, maybe? I have it on original ATCO vinyl, 8-track, cassette, the Fillmore Concerts re-release, the re-masters, CD and mp3. Only the Beatles occupy the same space in my musical journey. |
| Bobert_ParkCity (Park City Utah) | Posted: May 03, 2012 - 19:48 Transitions: From the Yiddish Theatre to the Fillmore to the Saint. Now it's a frickin' bank! NY was better when it was a dump. Remember "Ford to city- Drop DEAD!" ? Great song - timeless! |

| SpamNRice (Northern, Italy) | Posted: Dec 28, 2011 - 23:53 One of the few records, cassettes, CD's, I-Tunes, (8-tracks anyone?) I can listen to recurringly — and it still feels so fine... |
| HazzeSwede (Vinyl Land) | Posted: Nov 27, 2011 - 06:07 Jaa..this is how its done,could be a tad ,just a tad,faster tho. |

Duane's amazing guitar combined with Gregg's vocals and B3 had to be the best brother act in R&R history (with all due respect to the Everlys). |
