Lyrics

[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]

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]

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
