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
