She is cryin´, she is cryin´.
She´s been cryin´ all night long.
She´s been cryin´ for her one and only son.

She will weep, she will moan.
She will moan the night away.
She will weep and moan until the break of day.

I had called for the doctor,
But the doctor can´t be found.
So what could I do but sit and look around?

Oh Lord, won´t you hear,
Won´t you hear me when I pray.
Please send this girl her one and only son.

She is cryin´, she is cryin´.
She is cryin´ the whole night long.
She is cryin´ for her one and only son.
