Dark And Stormy Weather

 

Dark and stormy weather

It still inclines to rain

The clouds hang over center

My love's gone away on the train

We met loved and parted

I thought the world of you

You left me broken hearted

To me you proved untrue

 

I'm leaving old Virginia

There's nothing here for me

I know you love another

In the grave I'd rather be

 

You told me that you loved me

I believed just what you said

But now you love another

I wish that I was dead
