Stormy Monday / Lonely Avenue

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

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
