I can't keep from cryin' sometimes
I can't keep from cryin' sometimes
Oh, momma she's dead and gone
And I know I'm all alone
I can't keep from cryin' sometimes
Early in the morning
About the break of day
I fall down on my knees
I fall down and I pray
I think about my woman
My woman who's long gone
I can't keep from cryin' sometimes
I can't keep from cryin' sometimes
Oh, momma she's dead and gone
And I know I'm all alone
I can't keep from cryin' sometimes
Later in the evening, I watch the sun go down
I think about my woman
But my woman, Lord, she ain't around
My heart is filled with sadness
And my eyes are filled with tears
I can't keep from cryin' sometimes
I can't keep from cryin' sometimes
Oh, momma she's dead and gone
And I know I'm all alone
I can't keep from cryin' sometimes
