Left my girl in Kansas City
Left her crying in the rain
Well, I told her that I made my mind up
I didn't want to see her again
What makes the night so lonely
What makes the night so long
I well I guess it's just because I'm a man
That's done a good woman wrong
I can't eat, I can't sleep
All I can do is cry
All I can do is cry
Told her that she was a trifler
Told her that she played around
But I was just a lyin' man
Trying to hide the tracks he'd found
Gonna catch myself a flyer
One that's Kansas City bound
I'm a-goin' lookin' for my baby
Good Lord, I hope she's still around
I can't eat, I can't sleep
All I can do is cry
All I can do is cry
Left her crying in the rain
Well, I told her that I made my mind up
I didn't want to see her again
What makes the night so lonely
What makes the night so long
I well I guess it's just because I'm a man
That's done a good woman wrong
I can't eat, I can't sleep
All I can do is cry
All I can do is cry
Told her that she was a trifler
Told her that she played around
But I was just a lyin' man
Trying to hide the tracks he'd found
Gonna catch myself a flyer
One that's Kansas City bound
I'm a-goin' lookin' for my baby
Good Lord, I hope she's still around
I can't eat, I can't sleep
All I can do is cry
All I can do is cry
