It Just Keeps Right on A-Hurtin' Lyrics

I cry myself to sleep each night, wishing I could hold you tight
Life seems so empty since you went away
A pillow where you laid your head, holds my lonely tears instead
And it keeps right a-hurting since you've gone

It keeps right on a-hurting, every minute of the day
Every hour you're away, I feel so lonely
And I can't help it, I don't think I can't go on
And it keeps right on a-hurting since you've gone

They say a man should never cry but when I see you passing by
My heart breaks down and cries a million tears
Now you broke my heart and set me free but you forgot your memory
And it keeps right a-hurting since you've gone
