Lyrics Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton

I'm Not Worth the Tears

Mama didn't always have those tears in her eyes

And daddy once was able to hold his head up high

But now I brought disgrace to my whole family

Now they cry, but I'm not worth

The tears they cry for me

I loved a boy and then I found that he just lead me on

So in my hurt and bitterness

I let myself go alone

But all I did was hurt myself

And shame my family

And now they cry but I'm not worth

The tears they cry for me

No I'm not worth

The salt in one tiny tear

Oh why have I brought shame

To the one I loved so dear

I'm so sorry that I hurt them

But they'll never know how sorry

And now they cry but I'm not worth

The tears they cry for me

Yes now they cry, but I'm not worth

The tears they cry for me
