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 early at 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 I 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
