I've been down, so many times
Til momma said, boy stop your crying.
She said son please, listen to me,
I said no momma, I'm in misery, hear me crying.
Woe, woe, woe, woe,woe,woe, woe, woe, woe,woe
Boo Hoo, it's a crying shame.
Now daddy said, momma didn't no harm,
She's just worried, cause you're her son
I said well I know, that's the truth,
But that won't bring back, my Cynthy-Ruth, hear me crying.
Woe, woe, woe, woe,woe,woe, woe, woe, woe,woe
Boo Hoo, it's a crying shame.
Sister said, here comes Betty Lou,
Betty Lou said, anything for me she'd do,
But she can keep what she's got,
I want my Cynthy-Ruth, hear me crying
Woe, woe, woe, woe,woe,woe, woe, woe, woe,woe
Boo Hoo, it's a crying shame.
