Walking the Back Streets and Crying

You know my babe she told me
 Not so long ago
 She said, "I don't love you John Primer
 And I guess I got to let you go"
 That was too much for me
 That's why I've been walking the backstreet, and I've been crying
 It hurt me so bad
 When my baby, she said goodbye
 She said, "You're a good man, baby
 Treat me the way you do
 But you haven't done nothing to me
 And I just can't stay here with you"
 Oh, I'm trying to tell you, that was too much for me
 That's why I've been walking the backstreet, and I've been crying
 It hurt me so bad
 When my baby, she said goodbye
 ♪
 Yeah!

 She said, "You're a good man, baby
 Treat me the way you do
 Say you ain't got enough of nothing
 And I just can't stay here with you"
 Oh, I still done want my baby
 All that I can see
 Know the girl she stop running
 After waving goodbye to me
 Oh, I'm trying to tell you, that was too much for me
 That's why I've been walking the backstreet, and I've been crying
 It hurt me so bad
 When my baby, she ow!, said goodbye
 Oh, yeah
