Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Cryin' at my front door
You done daddy dirty
He sure don't want you no more 


Don't let the sun catch you lyin'
Lyin' at my front door
Daddy's done turned salty
Baby, you made him so


You can cry, cry, cry
Yes, baby, you can wail
Beat your head on the pavement
Till the man comes and throws you in jail


Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Cryin' at my front door
You done daddy dirty
He sure don't want you no more


You can cry, cry, cry
Yes, baby, you can wail
Beat your head on the pavement
Till the man comes and throws you in jail
