Stormy Monday / Lonely Avenue – Van Morrison (originally by T-Bone Walker / Ray Charles)

[“Stormy Monday”]

Well, they’ll call it stormy Monday, baby
Lord, Lord, Lord, but Tuesday’s just as bad
Wednesday’s worse
And Thursday’s oh so sad
Too sad

The eagle flies on Friday
On Saturday I go out and play, yeah
Oh, the eagle flies on Friday
Lord, on Saturday I go out an play, yeah
And on Sunday, I go to church
Get on my knees and I pray
And this is what I gotta say, boss

Lord, have mercy
(Lord, have mercy)
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, have mercy on me
(Yes, I know it’s true)
Now call Lord, have mercy
(Lord, have mercy)
You know my heart’s in misery
(Oh oh yeah, Lord, have mercy, baby)
Gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta find my baby
(You better find my honey child)
Send it back, send ’em back to me
(Back home to me, yeah)
Because, because

[“Lonely Avenue”]

My room has got two windows in it
Sunshine never comes through
So, so dark and lonely, since I
Broke it off girl with you

I live on a Lonely Avenue
Yeah, the girl don’t say I do
And I’m also sad and blue
It’s all because of you
I wanna cry
(I could cry, I could cry, I could xry)
Lord, I wanna die
(I could die, I could die, I could die)
I live on a Lonely Avenue
Lonely Avenue

My feet, they feel like a lead
And my pillow feels like stone
Well I keep on tossin’ and turnin’ every night, I
It’s no good being alone

I live on a Lonely Avenue
Girl, don’t say I do
When I feel so sad and blue
It’s all because of you
I can cry (I could cry)
Lord, I can die (simply die)
I live on a Lonely Avenue
A Lonely Avenue

I could cry
Cry, cry, cry
I could die

Well my room has got two windows
Sunshine never comes through
So, so dark and lonely
Since I broke it off with you

I live on a Lonely Avenue
Girl, don’t say I do
And I’m so, so sad and blue
It’s all because of you
I wanna cry
(I could cry, I could cry, I could cry)
I wanna die
(I could die, I could die, I could die)
I live on a Lonely Avenue
A Lonely Avenue

Lonely Avenue
I gotta get through it now
All the days of my life
You, gotta be with you
I wanna leave this town, baby
Yes, I wanna leave town
Tomorrow night, that’s true
I wanna cry
(I could cry, I could cry, I could cry)
I wanna die
(I could die, I could die, I could die)
I live on a Lonely Avenue
A Lonely Avenue
