Tears Are Rolling

by Hans Theessink recording of 1995 from Crazy Moon (RFR 1016) Tears are rolling down like showers of rain Tears are rolling down like showers of rain Cried so many tears but they just can't ease my pain It's a lowdown shame baby, way I treated you It's a lowdown shame baby, way I treated you Hurt your feelings, broke your heart in two I'm lonesome for you baby, can't wear you off my mind I'm lonesome for you baby, can't wear you off my mind See your face in the mirror, hear your footsteps all the time The day you left, blues moved in with me The day you left, blues moved in with me Son-of-a-bitch just won't leave me be Gonna buy me a pistol, dig a hole down in the ground Gonna buy me a pistol, dig a hole down in the ground If I can't have you baby, gonna lay my body down Been crying a river but it won't bring you back to me Been crying a river but it won't bring you back to me Drown in the river, let my body float to the sea
