Reverend Al Green (b. 13 April 1946) is an American gospeland soulsinger who enjoyed great popularity in the early- and mid-1970's. "Let's Stay Together" and "Tired of Being Alone" were two of his biggest hits. Green boasted a voice capable of both fluid high streams of sugar and possessed deep south growls and rasps. This was perhaps the ideal complement to the orchestral, syruppy, strong soul production work of Hi Records wizard Willie Mitchell, who also helmed 70's classics for Syl Johnson, Ann Peebles, and himself.

Keep Me Cryin' Lyrics

Al Green

You keep me crying all the time
I have to say that you
Keep me crying all the time
Well, I tried to play my music
But my music was too loud
Well, I pleased all the people
But I couldn`t please the crowd
And I dropped down on my knees
And said, hey, mama
Won`t you clear my head
Don`t you know they
Keep me crying all the time
They keep me crying all the time
Oh, Lord, don`t you know they
They keep me moaning all the time
They keep me burning all the time
Well, I tried
To run my business
But they said I can`t
Just keep it to myself
Not bothering any man
Just as sure as I try
Cause my tears in my eye
Don`t you know they
Keep me crying all the time
They keep me crying all the time
Friends knocking in my door
They keep me crying
Somebody calling on the phone and
They keep me crying...
