Don't let the sun catch you cryin', oh-ah, no
Cryin' at my front door
'Cause you done Dinah dirty
And she sure don't want you no more
I said, don't let the sun catch you lyin'
Lyin' at my front door
Mama's done turned salty
Baby, you made her so-so
You can cry, cry, cry
My baby, go ahead and wail
Beat your head on the pavement
Till the man comes to throw you in jail
But don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Cryin' at my front door, yes
'Cause you done Dinah dirty
And she don't want you no more
How could you have the nerve to do Dinah dirty?
And make her not want you no more
