Walking The Back Streets And Crying Songtext
von Little Milton

You know, my baby told me not so very long ago
She said, "I don′t love you, darling, and you got to let me go"

That was too much for me
That's why I walk the backstreet and cry
You know it hurt me so bad to hear my baby say goodbye
Here′s another thing she said

She said, "Another reason that make me wanna leave
You ain't got enough of nothing to keep me half way pleased"


I tell you, oh, that was too much for me
That's why I walk the backstreet and cry
Oh, yeah
Oh, it hurt me so bad, yes, it did
To hear my baby say goodbye

She said, "You′re a good man, baby, to treat me like you do, oh yeah"
She said, "You ain′t done nothin' to me, but I just can′t stay here with you"
Oh, I stood and watch my baby as far as I could see
You know the girl, she started running, yes, she did
After waving goodbye to me

I'm here to tell you that was too much for me
I walk the backstreet and cry
It hurt me so bad, yes, it did
To hear my baby say goodbye
