The sky is cryin look at the tears roll down the
street
the sky is cryin baby,
look at the tears roll down the street
lookin for my baby
and i wonder where could she be
i saw my baby early one mornin
she was walkin on down the street
i saw my baby one mornin,
and she was walkin on down the street
Hurt me so bad,
made my poor heart skip a beat

Understanding and a little lovin'
A little love is all that I need

Understanding and a little lovin'
A little love is all that I need

But misunderstanding and a no-good woman
They both cause my heart to bleed

Now every morning
The weeping willows weep for me

Now every morning baby
The weeping willows weep for me

The birds sing a little tune
I wish they'd sing my baby back home to me

The sky is crying
Look at the tears roll down the street

The sky is crying
Look at the tears roll down the street

I'm feeling sad and lonely
My baby's left me
