"The Sky Is Crying" is a song that has become a blues standard. It was written and recorded by Elmore James in 1959. Called "one of his most durable compositions", "The Sky Is Crying" became a R&B record chart hit and has been interpreted and recorded by numerous artists.

Gary B.B. Coleman(January 1, 1947 – February 14, 1994) was an American soul blues guitarist, singer, songwriter and record producer.

Originally a local musician turned blues promoter and session musician, Coleman recorded his debut album in 1986, which was re-released by Ichiban Records. He issued several other albums and produced most of Ichiban's blues catalogue until his death, in 1994. On many occasions, Coleman undertook multi-instrumentalist duties in the recording studio. He acknowledged both B.B. King, with his "B.B." moniker, and a fellow Texan, Freddie King.

The sky is crying

Can't you see the tears roll down the street

The sky is crying

Can't you see the tears roll down the street

I've been looking for my baby

And I wonder where can she be

I saw my baby early one morning

She was walking on down the street

I saw my baby early one morning

She was walking on down the street

You know it hurt me so bad

It made my poor heart skip a beat

I've got a bad feeling

My baby don't love me no more

I've got a real bad feeling

My baby don't love me no more

The sky is crying, ya

Can't you see the tears roll down the road.
