| I was passing by the churchhouse
|
| Just like I always do
|
| Someone was getting married
|
| So I peeped in to see who
|
| Got upon a ladder
|
| To get a better view
|
| And bless my soul, to my surprise
|
| My darling, it was you
|
| That’s when I cried
|
| That’s when I cried
|
| I saw him take you for his bride
|
| And I broke right down and cried
|
| Now darling I forgive you
|
| But I never will forget
|
| Just why you didn’t marry me
|
| You haven’t told me yet
|
| I’m feeling low with someone
|
| Who loves somebody else
|
| I thought it over good last night
|
| And I felt sorry for myself
|
| That’s when I cried
|
| That’s when I cried
|
| I just couldn’t keep it no more inside
|
| So I broke right down and cried
|
| What’s done is done already
|
| That’s all there is to that
|
| You got me so bewildered
|
| Till I don’t know where I’m at
|
| I can’t believe you’re married
|
| Can’t get it through my head
|
| And every time it crossed my mind
|
| I wished that I were dead
|
| Today I saw you passing
|
| «Hello,"was all I said
|
| And bless my soul, you looked at me
|
| And you turned your pretty head
|
| That’s when I cried
|
| That’s when I cried
|
| I put my foolish pride aside
|
| And I cried, cried, cried
|
| I cried
|
| I cried
|
| I cried
|
| I cried |
