Walking The Back Streets And Crying Lyrics

You know my baby told me not so very long ago
She said, I don't love you, daddy
And you got to let me go
And that was too much for me
That's why I walk the backstreets and cry

You know it hurt me so bad
To hear my baby say
Hear my baby say goodbye

She said another reason that makes me wanna leave
You ain't got enough of nothin' to keep me, keep me halfway pleased
That was too much, oh, too much for me
That's why I walk the backstreets, the backstreets and cry
Oh yeah

Oh, it hurts me, it hurts me so bad
Oh, to hear my baby
Hear my baby say goodbye

She said, you're a good man, baby
To treat me like you do
She said you ain't done nothin' to me
I just can't stay here with you

I stood and watched my baby as far as I could see
You know the girl she started runnin', yes she did
After waiving, waiving goodbye
That was too much, too much for me
That's why I walk the backstreets and cry
Oh Yeah

You know it hurts me, it hurts me so bad
Oh, to hear my baby
Hear my baby say goodbye
Hear and say goodbye

You know it hurts me so bad
To hear my baby say goodbye
That's why I walk the backstreets, the backstreets and cry
