[verse 1]
in the evenin’

i’m talkin’ ’bout when the sun goes down
i get so lonesome when my daddy can’t be found

[verse 2]
last night i was laying there
thinking to myself
last night i was there
tryna get it together by myself
all i know, all i know
is i’m tired of sleeping by myself

[verse 3]
hey because i’ve got a man that lives
way up on the hill
say, i’ve got a man that lives
way up on the hill
when he don’t want me
but i love him, i love him still

[verse 4]

and his t~~th shine just like gold

but he satisfies my soul

when the gent flies in
and esther comes walking out

[verse 6]
all i want you to do is hold on, baby

[verse 8]
when you see me coming, baby
raise your window high
lord lord lord lord lord lord, when you see me coming
raise your window high
but when i walk on by, when i walk on by
hang your head and cry
[verse 9]
well, i want you to cry me a river
i cried a river over you
i said come on, baby, and cry me a river
i cried a river over you
now it’s your turn, baby
cry, cry, cry
