Stormy Monday Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro 00:00-01:35]

[Verse 1]
They call it stormy Monday
Yes but Tuesday's just as bad
They call it stormy Monday
Yes but Tuesday's just as bad
Wednesday's even worse
Thursday's awful sad

[Verse 2]
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
Where I kneel down and pray

[Verse 3]
And I say Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Just trying to find my baby
Won't you please send her on back to me
[Instrumental Break/Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
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
Where I kneel down Lord and I pray

[Verse 5: Marcy Levy]
And I say Lord have mercy
Won't you please have mercy on me?
Lord oh Lord have mercy, yeah
Won't you please
Please have mercy on me, yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm just lookin' for my sweet babe
So won't you please send him home
Send him on home to me, yeah yeah yeah yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
