[Chorus]
Yes I am crying
I got the blues and I don't know why
Yes I am crying
I got the blues, I'm so dissatisfied
Because 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 crying through the night
Hear me crying through the night

[Verse 1]
I am lonely, downhearted and sad
Because 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

[Chorus]
Yes I am crying
I got the blues and I don't know why
Yes I am crying
I got the blues, I'm so dissatisfied
Because 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 crying through the night
Hear me crying through the night
Now I know just how best friends can be
Because he made sure you knew your best was with me
And it's on my mind

[Verse 2]
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 crying like mine

[Chorus][x2]
