Cannot Keep from Crying

I thought when she first left me, I'd get on a little while

Soon it would be all over, and I'd journey with a smile

But the thoughts as I get older, when I think of what I told her

I laugh to keep from cryin' sometimes

I cannot keep from cryin' sometimes

I cannot keep from cryin' sometimes

Though my heart is full of sorrow, and my eyes are full of tears

I cannot keep from cryin' sometimes

You told me that you loved me, you said your heart was true

Then you left me, baby, and what was I to do?

When I first met you, the night turned to day

But as love grows older, it slowly fades away

I cannot keep from cryin' sometimes

I cannot keep from cryin' sometimes

Though my heart is full of sorrow, and my eyes are full of tears

I cannot keep from cryin' sometimes

I'm on the King's Highway, and I'm travelin' night and day

But I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes

I cannot keep from cryin' sometimes

I cannot keep from cryin' sometimes

Though my heart is full of sorrow, and my eyes are full of tears

I cannot keep from cryin' sometimes

I thought when she first left me, I'd get on a little while

Soon it would be all over, and I'd journey with a smile

But the thoughts as I get older, when I think of what I told her

I laugh to keep from cryin' sometimes

I cannot keep from cryin' sometimes

I cannot keep from cryin' sometimes

Though my heart is full of sorrow, and my eyes are full of tears

I cannot keep from cryin' sometimes
