Well I cannot keep from crying sometimes
You know I cannot keep from crying sometimes
My heart is full of sorrow
My eyes are full of tears
I cannot keep from crying sometimes
Well I thought when she first left me
I'd get on a little while
Soon it'll be all over
And I'd journey with a smile
But as I get older
I think of what I told her
I cannot keep from crying sometimes
I cannot keep from crying sometimes
You know I cannot keep from crying sometimes
My heart is full of sorrow
My eyes are full of tears
I cannot keep from crying sometimes
Well I thought when she first left me
I'd get on a little while
Soon it'll be all over
And I'd journey with a smile
But as I get older
I think of what I told her
I laugh to keep from crying sometimes
You know I cannot keep from crying sometimes
You know I cannot keep from crying sometimes
My heart is full of sorrow
My eyes are full of tears
I cannot keep from crying sometimes
I laugh to keep from crying sometimes
Well I cannot keep from crying sometimes
You know I cannot keep from crying sometimes
My heart is full of sorrow
My eyes are full of tears
I cannot keep from crying sometimes
Well I thought when she first left me
I'd get on a little while
Soon it'll be all over
And I'd journey with a smile
But as I get older
I think of what I told her
I laugh to keep from crying some times
