Walking The Backstreets And Crying - Little Milton

You know my baby told me not so very long ago

He said, «I don’t love you, baby

And you got to, you got to let me go»

And that was too much, too much for me

That’s why I walked the backstreets and cry

You know it hurts me so bad

To hear my baby say

Hear my baby say goodbye

He said another reason that makes me wanna leave

You ain’t got enough of nothin' to keep me, keep me

That was too much, oh, too much for me

That’s why I walked the backstreets, the backstreet and cry

Oh yeah

Oh, it hurts me, it hurts me so bad

Oh, to hear my baby

Hear my baby say goodbye

He said, «You're a good woman, Etta

To treat me like you do»

He said, «You ain’t done nothin' to me

I just can’t stay here with you»

I stood and watch my baby as far as I could see

You know the men started runnin'

After waiving, waiving goodbye to me

That was too much, too much for me

That’s why I walked the backstreets and cry

Oh yeah

You know it hurts me, it hurts me so bad

Oh, to hear my baby

Hear my baby say goodbye

Hear and say goodbye

You know it hurts me so bad

To hear my baby say goodbye

That’s why I walked the backstreets

The backstreets and cry

Oh, I said it hurts me, it hurts me so bad

Hear my baby say, so long

Oh, it hurts me, hurts me, hurts me so bad

Hear my baby say, hear my baby say goodbye

Oh baby, oh, oh, it hurts me so bad

Hear my baby say goodbye

That why I walked the backstreets

That why I walked the backstreets and cry

Oh, that why I walked the backstreets and cry

Cry, cry
