Yes I am cryin´
I got the blues and I don´t know why
Yes I am cryin´
I got the blues, 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 willow
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 friend 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, 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 willow
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 that wealth
Keep your business to you, yourself and no one else
And your smiling eyes

Won´t be cryin´ like mine
Yes I´m cryin´
I got the blues and I don´t know why
Yes I´m cryin´
I got the blues, 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 willow
From cryin´ through the night
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
I´m like a weeping willow
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
[Break]
And it´s on my mind
Nearly all the time

Yes I´m cryin´
I got the blues and I don´t know why
Yes I´m cryin´
I got the blues, 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 willow
From cryin´ through the night
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

I´m weeping like a weeping willow
Oh, Oh, cryin´ tears, cryin´ tears
Through the night
