You know my name. (That's right.) You've heard my records. (Hmm?) You've seen me pass through your town. You know me. I cry cry cry. I cry cry cry.
I'm bound to wear a sadness for a crown. I'm bound to own an embroidered coat and it's starry with the lights of them jewel like tears that I Cry, cry, cry. I cry cry cry.
I play the part called A Broken Man. And all I've got to do is act naturally. The lines are the ones everybody knows. I cry cry cry. I cry cry cry.
Darlin! When you left me my heart burst and I wandered the land a marked man burdened by a terrible secret. Hard times have driven me from door to door to door. And made me a spectacle.
I'm bound to bear silence to the grave. I'm bound to play the part makes a, makes a man a slave. Nobody knows but I know. And I cry cry cry. I cry cry cry. I cry cry cry. I cry cry cry.
