"Stop Breaking Down" or "Stop Breakin' Down Blues" is a Delta blues song recorded by Robert Johnson in 1937. An "upbeat boogie with a strong chorus line",[1] the lyrics are partly based on Johnson's experience with certain women:[2]
You know the Saturday night women,
now they love to ape and clown
They won't do nothin'
but tear yo' reputation down
Stop breakin' down
Please stop breakin' down[3]
