[Chorus]
I can't keep from crying sometimes
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Well, mama, she's dead and gone
And I, you know I'm all alone
I can't keep from crying sometimes, sometimes, yeah
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
I can't keep from crying sometimes, sometimes
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Well, mama, she's dead and gone
And I, you know I'm all alone
I can't keep from crying sometimes, sometimes, yeah
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Later in the evening
I watch the sun go down
I think about my woman, yeah
But my woman, Lord, she ain't around
My heart is filled with sadness
And my eyes are filled with tears
[Chorus]
I can't keep from crying sometimes, alright
I can't keep from crying sometimes
Well, mama, she's dead and gone
And I know I'm all alone
I can't keep from crying sometimes, sometimes, oh no
