My True Story

One, two

Cry, cry, cry, oh, whoa

(Make it serious-) c'mon, man, watch that beat

One, two

Cry, cry, cry, whoa (oh-whoa, oh-oh)

Cry, cry, cry, whoa (oh-whoa, oh-oh)

There is a story, yeah (oh-whoa)

That I must tell of two lovers

That I bewail

Now they must cry, cry, cry, whoa, (oh-whoa, oh-oh)

Their blues away

(Cry, cry, cry, oh-whoa, their blues away)

Her name was Sue, yes

His name was Earl

His love was Lorraine

She's a wonderful girl

But they must cry, cry, cry, whoa, (oh-whoa, 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, (oh-whoa, oh-oh)

Your blues away

(Cry, cry, cry, their blues away)

This story ends, yes

It was no lie

Names have been changed dear

To protect you and I

But we must cry, cry, cry, whoa, (oh-whoa, oh-oh)

Our blues away

(Cry, cry, cry, oh-whoa, our blues away), mm

We must cry (cry, cry, cry, oh-whoa, our blues away)

Mm, oh, baby (cry, cry, cry)
