Don't let the sun catch you crying
Crying at my front door
You done your daddy dirty
And he don't want you around here no more

Don't let the sun catch you crying
Lying at my back door
You done your daddy dirty
And he don't want you around here no more

You can cry, cry, cry
Yes, and baby, you can wail
Beat your head on the pavement
Hey, till the man come
Land you in jail

Don't let the sun catch you crying
Lying at my back door
You done your daddy dirty
And he don't want you around here no more

You can cry, cry, cry
Yes, and baby, you can wail
Beat your head on the pavement
Hey, till the man come
Land you in jail
