From Wikipedia:
“Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Cryin’” is a song written by Joe Greene and released in 1946 by Louis Jordan And His Tympany Five. Jordan’s version reached No. 3 in Billboard’s chart of “Most-Played Juke Box Race Records“.
The song was recorded by Ray Charles, and appeared in his 1959’s album The Genius of Ray Charles. Charles’s version reached No. 17 on Billboard’s “Hot R&B Sides” and No. 95 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was also recorded by Jackie DeShannon on her 1965 album This is Jackie De Shannon, Paul McCartney on his 1990 live album Tripping the Live Fantastic, and jazz singer Roseanna Vitro on her 1997 album Catchin’ Some Rays: The Music of Ray Charles.

Lyrics
Don't let the sun catch you cryin',
Cryin' on my front door,?
You done daddy dirty now?
And honey he ain't gonna love you no more.??
And don't let the sun catch you cryin',
Cryin' on my front door,
You done daddy dirty now?
And honey he don't love you no more.
Well you can cry, cry, cry, cry?
Oh now baby, you can wail?
You can bang your little head on the pavement?
Till the man comes and throws you in jail.
Don't let the sun catch you cryin',
Cryin' on my front door?
Yeah you done your daddy dirty now?
And honey he ain't gonna love you no more??
Yeah you can cry, cry, cry, cry?
Oh now baby, baby you can wail?
You can bang your head on that hard hard pavement?
Till the man comes and throws you in jail.?
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Cryin' on my front door?
You done daddy dirty now?
And honey he ain't gonna love you no more??
Yeah, you know you done him dirty now.
You know you done him dirty,
And I just can't love you no more.
