Way Down (I Won’t Cry No More)

Baby put me way down
Walking through the alleys of midtown
Thinking all about what she stole
I'm crying out, "Lord please save my soul!"

I've no money since midnight
I bet it all on a fistfight
A pint of whiskey don't last long
I'm crying out, "Lord she done me wrong"

I won't cry no more
I won't die no more
I won't lie no more

I been way down, but I won't stay down
I came home at early sunrise
She looked into my red eyes
Said she don't want me no more

I'm crying out, "Lord! She walked out the door!"
Stuck in quicksand, she said
A hatful of sorrow on my head
Can't even get me a good buzz

Can't even find the man that I was

I won't cry no more
I won't die no more
I won't lie no more
I been way down, I won't stay down

My baby put me way down
Walking through the alleys of midtown
Thinkin' all about what she stole
I'm crying out, "Lord, please save my soul!"

I won't cry no more
I won't die no more
I won't lie no more
I been way down, but I won't stay down

No, no, no, no more
