Lyrics
- I have wander’d my whole life through
Sweetheart, I’ve come back to you
Hoping now at last that you’d be mine
Though I stayed away, I’ve come back to say
That I need you and I want you
More and more each day
Chorus
Nobody lied when they said I cried over you
Nobody lied when they said I most died over you
Ever since I’ve been away
I’ve been grieving night and day
I want you always by my side
(Oh, my crying days are over)
Nobody lied when they said I was blue over you
Got so blue I scarce knew what to do
All my life before me
Looks so dreary and so black
I think I’ll choose the river
And I’ll never come back
Nobody lied when they said I cried over you
- I left you because you grieved me
But I love you yet believe me
Let’s forget those bitter days gone by
I thot’ I’d forget, but no one I’ve met
Who came near me tried to cheer me
My life spells regret
Chorus
Nobody lied when they said I cried over you
Nobody lied when they said I most died over you
Ever since I’ve been away
I’ve been grieving night and day
I want you always by my side
(Oh, my crying days are over)
Nobody lied when they said I was blue over you
Got so blue I scarce knew what to do
I missed you in the morning, dear
My coffee was so cold
And I’m right here to say
I missed your sweet Jelly Roll
Nobody lied when they said I cried over you
