The sky is crying 
Look at the tears roll down the street 
The sky is crying 
Look at the tears roll down the street 
I'm feeling sad and lonely 
My baby's left me 
Understanding and a little lovin' 
A little love is all that I need 
Understanding and a little lovin' 
A little love is all that I need 
But misunderstanding and a no-good woman 
They both cause my heart to bleed 
Now every morning 
The weeping willows weep for me 
Now every morning baby 
The weeping willows weep for me 
The birds sing a little tune 
I wish they'd sing my baby back home to me 
The sky is crying 
Look at the tears roll down the street 
The sky is crying 
Look at the tears roll down the street 
I'm feeling sad and lonely 
My baby's left me
