Walking The Back Streets And Crying

Lyrics for Walking The Back Streets And Crying

The other day, a woman stopped me She said, "Daddy, let me talk to you" She said, "Now listen, I ain't begging I'm just lonesome, and I'm blue" Once I had a good man But I didn't know how to act By the time I learnt my lesson My good man wouldn't take me back She cried, "That was too much for me That's why I walked the backstreet and cried But it hurt me so bad, yeah Yeah, that the man I misused said, 'Goodbye' I said, "Rap on, baby" I sent a friend to talk for me And she said, "I did the best I could I lied like a dog for you I just couldn't do you no good" That's why I hit the backstreet there Just as drunk as I could be The man I had misused He passed and didn't look back at me I said, "It's too much for me That's why I walk the backstreet and cry Oh, it hurt me so bad, it hurt me so bad To hear the man I misused say, 'Goodbye' I had the galls to call him He said, "You low-down as you can be And last time we had an argument You know you called the police on me They raid me out of my house, woman While you stood there on and grinned Now the police can't help you, little girl 'Cause they can't bring me in" She said, "That was too much for me That's why I walk on the backstreet and cry Oh, it hurt me so bad, it hurt me so bad To hear the man I misused say, 'Goodbye' That's what she said Yeah, come on Around the globe Whoa!
