Subject: Lyr Add: CAN'T KEEP FROM CRYING (Blues Project) From: GUEST,Friutbowls Dad at work Date: 30 Oct 03 - 08:26 AM I saw these lyrics (from the Blues Project) Is this the song you wanted ? it is actually a big favourite of mine from way back ! * Chorus I can't keep from crying sometimes I can't keep from crying sometimes Oh momma she's dead and gone And I know I'm all alone I can't keep from crying sometimes Early in the morning About the break of day I fall down on my knees I fall down and I pray I think about my woman My woman who's long gone * Repeat Chorus Later in the evening I watch the sun go down I think about my woman But my woman Lord she ain't around My heart is filled with sadness And my eyes are filled with tears * Repeat Chorus |

Subject: Lyr Add: CAN'T KEEP FROM CRYING (Johnson) From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 30 Oct 03 - 08:57 AM The song was originally recorded by Blind Willie Johnson in 1928, with the following lyrics: Chorus Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes When my heart's full of sorrow And my eyes are filled with tears Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes My mother often told me Angels [bonded] your life away She said I wouldn't complain But trust in God and pray I'm on the King's Highway I'm travelin' everyday [chorus] My mother, she's in glory Thank God, I'm on my way Father, he's gone too And sister she could not stay I'm trusting Him everyday He will bear my burden away [chorus] I thought when she first left me I'd grieve for a little while Soon it all would be over And I'd journey on with a smile But the thought as I get older I think of what I told her [chorus] RtS (via Google) |
