1966 – Joe Greene
When the moon goes down in the dawn
And the sun comes up in the morning
Don’t let the sun catch you cryin’
‘Cause daddy don’t want you
Don’t let the sun catch you cryin’
Cryin’ at my front door
There, you done daddy dirty
He sure don’t want you no more
Don’t let the sun catch you lyin’
Lyin’ at my front door
Your daddy’s done turn salty
Baby you’ve made him so, hmm
You can cry, cry, cry
Yes baby, you can wail
Beat your head on the pavement
‘Til the man comes and throws you in jail
