Don't Cry Darlin' (Recitation by George Jones) Songtext

von David Allan Coe

Drunk.
Totally drained.
On the verge of going crazy.
On the edge of insane.
I know you'd prayed I'd make it.
But I never pulled through.
I gave up on going on girl
Just like I gave up on you.

But don't you cry darlin'.
Though it's a cryin' shame.
I was hooked on that whisky so bad,
I didn't know my name when I died,
But don't cry darlin'.
You know it's not you're fault.
I was stealin' time from the devil and I
Just got caught.

You know Hon,
David left you so long ago
He didn't want to darlin,
Aw but his dying words told you so
But that strong stuff,
Aww, it was always his weakness
But hell, any man can be a fool
And I know that he was so ashamed and sorry
For all those bad things that he did to you

But don't you cry darlin'.
Though it's a cryin' shame.
I was hooked on that whisky so bad,
I didn't know my name when I died,
But don't cry darlin'.
Well it's not you're fault.
I was stealin' time from the devil and I
Just got caught.

Don't you cry darlin'.

Though it's a cryin' shame.
I was hooked on that bottle so bad,
I didn't know my name when I died,
But don't cry darlin'.
