You been down to the bottom with a bad man, babe,

But you're back where you belong.

Go get me my pistol, babe,

Honey, I can't tell right from wrong.

Baby, please stop crying, stop crying, stop crying

Baby, please stop crying, stop crying, stop crying

Baby, please stop crying.

You know, I know, the sun will always shine

So baby, please stop crying 'cause it's tearing up my mind.

Go down to the river, babe,

Honey, I will meet you there.

Go down to the river, babe,

Honey, I will pay your fare.

Baby, please stop crying, stop crying, stop crying

Baby, please stop crying.

So baby, please stop crying 'cause it's tearing up my mind.

If you're looking for assistance, babe,

Or if you just want some company

Or if you just want a friend you can talk to,

Honey, come and see about me.

Baby, please stop crying, stop crying, stop crying

Baby, please stop crying, stop crying, stop crying

Baby, please stop crying.

You know, I know, the sun will always shine

So baby, please stop crying 'cause it's tearing up my mind.

And I know what you're thinking of.

Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,

To see that you're madly in love.

Baby, please stop crying, stop crying, stop crying

Baby, please stop crying, stop crying, stop crying

Baby, please stop crying.

You know, I know, the sun will always shine

So baby, please stop crying 'cause it's tearing up my mind.
