In a river of tears I'm going down, and you have watched me drown In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream Under the waves, I've found the strength to say The river of tears has washed me clean Go 'head and wish me well I'll cry cry a wishing well I'll

As I walked down by the riverside One evening in the spring Heard a long gone song From days gone by Blown in on the great North wind Though there is no lonesome corncrake's cry cry Of sorrow and delight You can hear the cars And the shouts from bars

And where are you now Now that I need you Tears on my pillow Wherever you go I'll cry cry me a river That leads to your ocean You never see me fall apart In the words of a broken heart It's just emotion that's taken me over

Straight to my baby's love Somebody direct Me I done cried a river of tears This you may not believe But I've been crying for five long years Afraid of all my fears Love has got me now In a terrible bet

And when the owls cry cry in the night If the river runs dry, baby, how do you feel? Oh baby it's cryin' time Oh baby I got to fly Got to try to find a way Got to try to get away 'Cause you know I gotta get away from you babe

A heartache I'm still trying to get through Texas was you Texas was green eyes crying goodbye Was a long drive Ohio was a riverbank 10 speed layin' in the weeds Cannonball off an old rope swing Long long summer days Tennessee was a guitar

He's a dreamer He is down by the riverside Late one night He's tryin' to count the stars In each of the signs All alone by the riverside And time passes by Gathering thoughts of the past And maybe he'll cry

My baby loves me Runnin' 'round town tellin' everybody Now that it's over I just wanna break your heart right back Want you to cry cry me a river I just want to break your heart right back

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die I met her accidentally in St. Paul,
