Buddy Guy & Jimi Hendrix – Stormy Monday – Live, 1968
Buddy Guy plays “Stormy Monday” as Jimi Hendrix watches in awe. Then about half way through the video Jimi gets on stage with him!
The beauty of this video is seeing Jimi Hendrix at the height of his fame looking like a schoolboy idolizing Buddy Guy the way we guitar players stare at him!
Lyrics:
They call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday is as just as bad
Yeah, they call it stormy Monday but Tuesday, Tuesday is as just as bad
You know Wednesday is worst, and Thursday, oh so sad
The eagle flies on Friday and Saturday I’ll go out to play
Oh, the eagle flies on Friday and Saturday I’ll go out to play
The seventh day I’ll rest and I’ll kneel down to pray
I’ll call, “Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me”
Well, I’ll call, “Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me”
Well, you know I’m trying to find my baby
Won’t you please send her back to me
The eagle flies on Friday and Saturday I’ll go out to play
Woah, the eagle flies on Friday and Saturday I’ll go out to play
Sunday I’ll go to church and I’ll kneel down to pray
I’ll call, “Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me”
Well, I’ll call, “Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me”
Yeah, you know I’m trying to find my baby
Won’t you please send her back to me
