They call it stormy monday, but tuesday's just as bad.
Wednesday's even worse, and Thursday is so sad.
This song was written by T-Bone Walker in 1947. It is called "Call it stormy monday (But Tuesday's Just as Bad)."
There is a song with a similar name by Bob Crowder/ Billy Eckstine/Earl Hines. It is named "Stormy Monday Blues." This definitely a distinct song. It was written in 1942 (before the other one). I'm thinking T-Bone might have been referring to the Earl Hines song when he said "They call it stormy monday." I don't know. I could be wrong.
