Found My Baby Crying

I come home this mornin', yes, I found my baby crying
I come home this mornin', yes, I found my baby crying
I said, "The Lord have mercy. What is wrong with that little babe of mine?"

You know it hurt me so bad, see them tears roll down my baby's cheek
Yeah, you know it hurt me so bad, see them tears rollin' down my baby's cheek
Whoa, you know I didn't have no money, poor Lightnin' didn't have a bite to eat

Don't, don't cry, baby, you know things is bound to change
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, baby, you know things is bound to change
Whoa, if I don't bring the bacon in the Winter, rest for sure, poor Lightnin' bring it in the Spring

(One more time. Oh yeah!)
