Walking The Back Streets And Crying (Album Version)

Walking The Back Streets And Crying (Album Version) - Albert King

Written by：Sandy Jones/Jr.

The other day a woman stopped me

She said daddy let me talk to you

She said now listen I ain't beggin

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 back street 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 say I did the best I could

I lied like a dog for you

I just couldn't do you no good

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

Thats why I walk the backstreet and cry

Well it hurt me so bad it hurt me so bad

To hear the man I misused say goodbye

Ahhh

I had the galls to call him

He said you lowdown as you could be

And last time we had an argument

You know 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

Ohh 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

Whooo
