Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Cryin' at my front door
You've done daddy dirty
He sure don't want you no more

[Verse 2]
Don't let the sun catch you lyin'
Lying at my front door
Daddy's done turned salty
Baby, you made him so

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 1]
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Cryin' at my front door
You've done daddy dirty
He sure don't want you no more

[Bridge]
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
[Verse 1]
But don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Cryin' at my front door
You've done daddy dirty
He sure don't want you no more

[Outro]
When the moon goes down in the dawnin'
And the sun comes up in the mornin'
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
'Cause daddy don't want you no more

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
