Baby don't you cry no more
My baby, don't you cry no more
I've been a lot of trouble
But I won't be anymore
Baby, don't you cry no more

I'm listening to that midnight whistle blow
I'm listening to that whistle blow
And come tomorrow morning
I'll be leaving on that train
Listening to that whistle blow

I confess to being a fool
Bled your heart and did you cruel
So I'll leave you with your eyes closed
And your head turned from the door
And you won't have to cry no more

Walk away, sad to say love's grown thin
When it's old, love is cold
You can go too long

So wipe away the salt tears
From your eyes so red and sore
And you won't have to cry no more
