There is the story that I must tell

Of two lovers that I knew well.

Now they must cry, cry, cry

Their blues away.

Now they must cry, cry, cry

Their blues away.

Her name was sue ann,

His name was earl.

His love was loraine,

Such a wonderful girl.

Now they must cry, cry, cry

Their blues away.

Cry, cry, cry

Their blues away.

Love will make you happy

And love will make you cry

Love will make your tears fall

When your lover says goodbye.

Now they must cry, cry, cry

Their blues away.

Cry, cry, cry

Their blues away.

The story been there

And it was no lie,

Names have been changed here

To protect you and i.

We must cry, cry, cry

Our blues away.

Cry, cry, cry

Our blues away.

And we must cry, cry, cry

Our blues away.

Cry, cry, cry

Our blues away.
