“The sky's been crying, The tears rolling down my door”
song ~ “The Sky is Crying”
artist ~ Elmore James
The sky is crying, look at the tears roll down the street
The sky is crying, look at the tears roll down the street
I'm waiting in tears, looking for my baby, and I wonder, where can she be?

I saw my baby one morning, and she was walking on down the street
I saw my baby one morning, yes, she walking on down the street
Made me feel so good, until my poor heart would skip a beat
I got a bad feeling, my baby, my baby don't love me no more
I got a bad feeling, my baby don't love me no more
Now the sky's been crying, the tears rolling down my door (Image source)
Comments
This 1959 song by Elmore James has become one of the most enduring blues tunes. The title alone makes it one of the true classics of the genre.
No Tears of Sadness

These lyrics were inspired NOT by any tears of sadness shed over a lost love, but, quite unironically, by a rainstorm during the recording session.
In 1960, it reached Nubmer 15 on the charts. Since then, it has been covered by many artists, including Sonny Boy Williamson II, The Yardbirds, George Thorogood, and (of course) Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Sunshine on Sorrow
In April 1960, James recorded a more melancholy version, which he titled “The Sun is Shining” – which, ironically, features lyrics that are blusier than those of “The Sky is Crying.”
It just goes to show that you don’t need a weatherman to tell you when tears come raining down. (Image source)
