Lord, I just can't keep from cryin'
Language: English
Lord, I just can't keep from cryin' some time When my heart is full of sorrow And my eyes are full of tears Lord, I just can't keep from cryin' some time. Lord, I fold my arms and cry some time When my heart is full of sorrow And my eyes are full of tears Lord, I fold my arms and cry some time. Lord, I hum a tune and cry some time When my heart is full of sorrow And my eyes are full of tears Lord, I hum a tune and cry some time.
