"Daddy what's wrong?"
She whispers in my ear so sweet
You know what she says? She says

You know, I got a woman
And she lives in the poor part of town
and I go see her sometimes
And we make love, so fine
I put my head on her shoulder
She says, "Tell me all your troubles."
You know what she says? She says
(Chorus)
"Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
and it makes me wonder why."
