Band Intro and “Stormy Monday” at Montreux 2004

Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just as Bad) T-Bone Walker

They call it stormy Monday but Tuesday’s just as bad
They call it stormy Monday but Tuesday’s just as bad
Wednesday is worse and Thursday’s also 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, hmm ,
That’s when I get down on my knees and pray

I said Lord have mercy,
Oh Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy on me
Yeah Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy on me
Don’t you know I’m just trying to find my baby
Won’t somebody please send him on home to me
Oh yeah

Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me,
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me,
Don’t you know I’m just trying to find my baby
Won’t somebody please send him on home to me
