Cry, cry, cry whoa-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Cry, cry, cry whoa-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh



There is a story yeah

That I must tell

Of two lovers

That I bewail

Now they must cry, cry, cry whoa-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Their blues away

(Cry cry cry their blues away)



Her name was Sue yeah

His name was Earl

His love was Lorraine

She's a wonderful girl

But they must cry, cry, cry whoa-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Their blues away

(Their blues away)



Love will make you happy

And love will make you cry

Love will make the tears fall

When your lover says goodbye



And then you'll cry, cry, cry whoa-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Your blues away

(Cry cry cry their blues away)



This story ends yeah

It was no lie

Names have been changed dear

To protect you and I



But we must cry, cry, cry whoa-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Our blues away

(Cry cry cry)

Mmm (whoa-uh our blues away)

We must cry

(Cry cry cry whoa-uh our blues away)
