Cryin' Through the Night

in AlbumCharacters

Yes I am cryin'

I got the blues and I don't know why

Yes I am cryin'

I got the blues and I'm so dissatisfied

'Cause I've been cryin' through the night

Tears on my pillow

And I have been cryin' through the night

Weeping like a weeping pillow

From cryin' through the night

Hear me cryin' through the night

I am lonely, downhearted and sad

'Cause I've lost the best woman that I ever had

To a fiend of mine

Just can't figure out how it could be

That somebody like him could take her away from me

And it's on my mind

Nearly all the time

Yes I am cryin'

I got the blues and I don't know why

Yes I am cryin'

I got the blues and I'm so dissatisfied

'Cause I've been cryin' through the night

Tears on my pillow

And I have been cryin' through the night

Weeping like a weeping pillow

From cryin' through the night

Hear me cryin' through the night

Now I know just how best friends can be

'Cause he made sure you knew your best was with me

And it's on my mindHere's a lesson much greater than wealth

Keep your business to you, yourself and no one else

And your smiling eyes

Won't be cryin' like mine

Yes I am cryin'

I got the blues and I don't know why

Yes I am cryin'

I got the blues and I'm so dissatisfied

'Cause I've been cryin' through the night

Tears on my pillow

And I have been cryin' through the night

Weeping like a weeping pillow

From cryin' through the night

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

I'm weeping like a weeping pillow

From cryin' through the night

Oh, Oh, yeah

Hear me cryin', cryin', I'm cryin', cryin'

I'm cryin' baby, cryin' baby, yeah

Even a fool can tell

That so many tears sho' enough done fell

And pretty soon before you know

I'll have enough tears to fill a water well

Hear me cryin' through the night

Oh yeah, cryin' through the night

And it's on my mind

Nearly all the time

Yes I am cryin'

I got the blues and I don't know why

Yes I am cryin'

I got the blues and I'm so dissatisfied

'Cause I've been cryin' through the night

Tears on my pillow

And I have been cryin' through the night

Weeping like a weeping pillow

From cryin' through the night

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

I'm weeping like a weeping pillow

Oh, Oh, cryin' tears, cryin' tears

Through the night
