Blues is a natural fact, is something that a fellow lives. If you don't live it you don't have it. Young people have forgotten to cry the blues. Now they talk and get lawyers and things.

Now you say you're lonely You cry the long night through Well, you can cry me a river Cry me a river I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry For being so untrue Well, you can cry me a river Cry me a river I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head While you never shed a tear Remember, I remember, all that you said You told me love was too plebeian Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me Well, just to prove that you do Come on and cry me a river Cry me a river I cried a river over you I cried a river over you I cried a river...over you...
