Walking The Back Streets And Crying - Albert King

The other day a woman stopped me She said daddy let me talk to you

She said now listen I aint beggin

I’m just lonesome and I’m blue

Once I had a good man

But I didnt know how to act

By the time I learnt my lesson

My good man wouldnt take me back

She cried that was too much for me Thats 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 couldnt do you no good

Thats 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 its 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 cant bring me in She said that was too much for me Thats 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…
