When I come home baby
  And I've been working all night long
  I put my daughter on my knee, and she say
  "Daddy what's wrong?"
  I put my head on her shoulder
  She whispers in my ear so sweet
  You know what she says?
  "Daddy you're a fool to cry
  You're a fool to cry
  And it makes me wonder why."
    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
  "Daddy you're a fool to cry
  You're a fool to cry
  and it makes me wonder why."
    Daddy you're a fool to cry
  Oh, I love you so much baby
  Daddy you're a fool to cry
  Daddy you're a fool to cry, yeah
  She says, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
  You're a fool to cry
  And it makes me wonder why."
    She says, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
  Daddy you're a fool to cry
  Daddy you're a fool to cry
  Daddy you're a fool to cry
    Even my friends say to me sometimes
  And make out like I don't understand them
  You know what they say
  They say, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
  You're a fool to cry
  You're a fool to cry
  And it makes me wonder why."
