I NEVER CRIED
Well, I never cried, till my baby got on...on that train, And I never cried till my baby got on that train. And the tears come down, Great God! like showers of rain.
Well, if you don't want me, baby, give me your...your right hand And if you don't want me, darlin', give me your right hand. I'll go back to my woman, you can go back to your man.
Well, if blues was whisky, I believe I'd lose.... lose my mind And if blues was whisky, I believe I'd lose my mind. Cause I'm worried and bothered, baby, drinkin' all the time.
I believe, I believe, I...I will quit my lowdown barrelhouse ways, I believe, Good Lord, I will quit my barrelhouse ways. Cause I feel myself, baby, sinkin' in my grave.
Well, I never cried, till my baby got on ... on that train, And I never cried till my baby got on that train. And the tears come down, Great God! like showers of rain.
