Walking The Back Streets And Crying (Live 1972)
Lyrics 
You know my baby told me not so very long ago
He said, "I don't love you, baby
And you got to, you got to let me go"
And that was too much, too much for me

You know my baby told me not so very long ago
He said, "I don't love you, baby

That's why I walked the backstreets
You know it hurts me so bad
Cry, cry
Songwriter: Sandy Jones
That why I walked the backstreets and cry
Hear and say goodbye
Oh, it hurts me, hurts me, hurts me so bad
Hear my baby say goodbye
Hear my baby say goodbye
I stood and watch my baby as far as I could see
You ain't got enough of nothin' to keep me, keep me [unverified]
That was too much, too much for me
You know my baby told me not so very long ago
That's why I walked the backstreets, the backstreet and cry
Oh, it hurts me, it hurts me so bad
To hear my baby say
Oh, to hear my baby
You know it hurts me, it hurts me so bad
He said, "You're a good woman, Etta
That's why I walked the backstreets and cry
The backstreets and cry
Hear my baby say, so long
He said another reason that makes me wanna leave
He said, "I don't love you, baby
He said, "You ain't done nothin' to me
Oh baby, oh, oh, it hurts me so bad
Oh yeah
Hear my baby say goodbye
Oh yeah

That's why I walked the backstreets and cry
To hear my baby say goodbye
You know it hurts me so bad
Oh, to hear my baby
Oh, that why I walked the backstreets and cry
And that was too much, too much for me
Hear my baby say, hear my baby say goodbye
Hear my baby say goodbye
After waiving, waiving goodbye to me
Oh, I said it hurts me, it hurts me so bad
That was too much, oh, too much for me
To treat me like you do"
You know the men started runnin'
And you got to, you got to let me go"
That why I walked the backstreets
I just can't stay here with you"
