Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

Cry Me a River

Now you say you love me

But you cry the whole night through

You can cry me a river

Oh yes you’re going’ to cry me a river

Cos I cried a river over you.

Now you say you’re sorry for being so untrue

You may cry a river

You may cry me a river

I cried a river over you

Yes I did child, yes I did my child.

You drove me nearly out of my head

You stood by and never shed a tear

But I remember every word that was said

Oh yes, I remember, never fear.

You may cry me a river, c’mon now

Cry me a river

You may cry me a river

I cried a river for you oh how I cried.

You nearly drove me out of my own sweet head

You stood by, you never shed a tear for me.

I remember every cruel word, everything that was said

Yes I remember, never you fear.

You may cry me a river

I cried a river for you

Yes I cried a river for you.

Turn back the tide of life, I cried, salty water running down

I cried I love you

I cried I love you

I cried, I cried.

You may cry, oh, she may cry now, a river of tears

A river of tears for you

You may cry now, she may cry, oh, she may cry now

You may cry, oh, she may cry now a river of tears

A river of tears for you.

I cry you can cry me a river

Lord loves a cheerful giver

C’mon and cry me a river of tears

C’mon now and cry me a river of tears

C’mon now and cry me a river of tears

C’mon now, c’mon down and cry me a river.
