Lyrics The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

My True Story

Cry, cry, cry whoa-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Cry, cry, cry whoa-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh

There is a story yeah

That I must tell

Of two lovers

That I bewail

Now they must cry, cry, cry whoa-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Their blues away

(Cry cry cry their blues away)

Her name was Sue yeah

His name was Earl

His love was Lorraine

She`s a wonderful girl

But they must cry, cry, cry whoa-uh-oh-oh-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-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Your blues away

(Cry cry cry their blues away)

This story ends, it was no lie

Names have been changed, dear, to protect you and I.

But we must cry, cry, cry our blues away

Our blues away

We must cry cry cry cry our blues away.
