Need lyrics for "Why Should I Cry Over You"......reorded by Freddie Hart years ago. Not the same as a song recorded by Frank Sinatra, although is the same title.

Edna Poplin (the Poplin Family of South Carolina -- we have an older Folkways LP of their music), wrote a song with that title that starts:

Sit at home, the telephone
Don't ring any more,
Why should I cry over you?
Low and lonely, sad and blue,
Sittin' here, baby, just thinkin' of you,
Why should I cry over you?

That's pretty obscure, and probably not the one you're looking for, but...what the heck...no harm in asking.

According to AMG, there are at least 2 songs called "Why Should I Cry over You?"

One written by Chester Conn and Ned Miller, copyright 1922, and recorded by Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, and others;

And one written and recorded by Adolph Hofner. It appears on the album "South Texas Swing," 1980, Arhoolie #7029, which is a reissue of old 78's mainly from the 1930's and 40's. I assume this is the one you want.

Barnes and Noble has a sound sample from which I was able to transcribe this much:

"…cry over you?
Why should I feel blue?
I wished, I hoped that you'd play fair
But all along you didn't care
So why should I cry over you?"

I couldn't find any more lyrics, though.

The Ned Miller and Chester Cohn song, which is not the one, is in Levy.

Is this it???

WHY SHOULD I CRY OVER YOU
Recorded by: Eddy Arnold

Why Should I Cry Over you, Dear
When you Never Cried over Me
You Want to Take Without Giving
That's Why our Hearts Disagree

You Called our Dream World a Prison
But From Now on you'll Be Free
Why Should I Cry over you, Dear
When You Never Cried over Me

[both verses repeated with minor differences]

Why Should I Cry Over you, Dear
When you Never Cried over Me
You Want to Take Without Giving
[And] That's Why our Hearts Disagree

You Called our Dream World a Prison
But From Now on you'll Be Free
Why Should I Cry over [yo-ou-u]
When You Never Cried over Me

Those last lyrics pretty much sum up my view of the late Queen Mother
