Where does a little tear come from?

Where does a little . . . tear . . . come from?

It comes from a heart that's been broken apart,

that's where a little tear comes from!



Where does a broken heart come from?

Where does a broken . . . heart . . . come from?

It comes when you find that you love the rovin' kind,

that's where a broken heart comes from!



Where does the rovin' kind come from?

Where does rovin' . . . kind . . . come from?

From the wind and restless river that wanders on forever

that's where the rovin' comes from!



Where does the restless river come from?

Where does restless . . . river . . . come from?

It comes from little tears that are shed through the years

that's where the restless river comes from . . .



. . . that's where the restless river comes from . . .
