Lyrics
I Only Cry On Sundays
A Williams BMI, D Gibson-Kelley BMI
2010
Momma called Monday Daddy’s drinking again
Sister showed up Wednesday with bruises on her skin
I had to tell that old man that I might have to do him in
But the police came on Friday and save me from that sin
Oh sister
That’s why I only cry on Sundays
Let the angels catch my tears
That’s when I pray the hardest
And just lift up all my fears
I let the spirit hold me
Cause the Devil tries to own me
All week long but he ain’t that strong
That’s why I only cry on Sundays
Let all God’s children sing along
Amen, Amen, Amen
Tuesday Johnny left me took everything we had
Tried to come back Thursday but I don’t need his money that bad
The landlord try to buy my soul I said no and he left mad
If I have to give up what I got the lord ought to send me a better man
Oh Sister now
That’s why I only cry on Sundays
Let the angels catch my tears
That’s when I pray the hardest
And just lift up all my fears
I let the spirit hold me
Cause the Devil tries to own me
All week long but he ain’t that strong
That’s why I only cry on Sundays
Let all God’s children sing along
Amen, Amen, Amen
