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

And baby, you made him so sore



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



But don't let the sun catch you cryin'

Cryin' at my front door

You done your Daddy dirty

he just 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



But don't let the sun catch you cryin'

Cryin' at my front door

You done your Daddy dirty

he just don't want you no more



when the moon goes down in the dawn

and the sun comes up in the morning

don't let the sun catch you cryin'

'cus daddy don't want you no more
