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 mind
Here'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
