I'm leavin', mama cryin' won't make me stay
I'm leavin', your cryin' won't make me stay
You should have thought when you were doin' these things, one day you would had-a pay
I'm sittin' around cryin', honey, cryin' my heart out
I'm sittin' around here, baby, woman, cryin' my heart out
Though I'm just a country boy, woman, I don't know what it's all about
That's why I'm leavin', the cryin' won't make me stay
That's why I'm leavin', woman, the cryin' won't make me stay
You should have thought when you were doin' these thing, one day you would had-a pay
