Cry, guitar, cry on
You're crying because you know he is gone
Gone with another, and now we're all alone
So cry, guitar, cry on

This soft guitar played when I met him
And it played the night I lost him
Yes, she drove him to another
With your sweet and tender chimes

I know you're sorry
But it's too late now
And I know you meant no harm
But the song that you were playing
Put him in another's arms

So cry, guitar, cry on
You're crying because you know he is gone
Gone with another, and now we're all alone
So cry, guitar, cry on

So cry, guitar, cry on
