I got the blues and I don't know why
I got the blues and so dissatisfied
'Cause I've been cryin' through the night
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
Just can't figure out how it could be
That somebody like him could take her away from me
I got the blues and I don't know why
I got the blues and so dissatisfied
'Cause I've been cryin' through the night
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 friend was with me
Here's a lesson much greater than wealth
Keep your business to you, yourself and no one else
Won't be cryin' like mine
I got the blues and I don't know why, no
I got the blues, I'm so dissatisfied
'Cause I've been cryin' through the night
And I have been cryin' through the night
Weeping like a weeping willow
From cryin' through the night
I'm weeping like a weeping willow
From cryin' through the night
Hear me cryin', cryin', I'm cryin', cryin'
I'm cryin', baby, cryin' baby, yeah
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
I got the blues and I don't know why
I got the blues, I'm so dissatisfied
'Cause I've been cryin' through the night
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
