Now you say you love me
But you cry the whole night through
You can cry me a river 
Oh, yes, you're goin' to cry me a river 
'Cause I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry for being so untrue
You may cry a river
You may cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Yes, I did, child; yes, I did, my child

You drove me nearly out of my head
You stood by and never shed a tear
But I remember every word that was said
Oh, yes, I remember, never fear

You may cry me a river, come on now
Cry me a river
You may cry me a river
I cried a river for you (oh, how I cried)

You nearly drove me out of my own sweet head
You stood by; you never shed a tear for me
I remember every cruel word, everything that was said
Yes, I remember, never you fear

You may cry me a river
I cried a river for you
Yes, I cried a river for you

Turn back the tide of life; I cried--salty water runnin' down
I cried I love you
I cried I love you
I cried, I cried

You may cry, oh; she may cry now a river of tears 
A river of tears for you
You may cry now; she may cry, oh, she may cry now
You may cry, oh; she may cry now a river of tears
A river of tears for you

I cry; you can cry me a river
Lord loves a cheerful giver
Come on and cry me a river of tears
Come on now and cry me a river of tears
Come on now and cry me a river of tears
Come on now; come on down and cry me a river
