[Intro – Slow guitar riff, moody] (spoken) Yeah… he done gone and did me wrong... [Verse 1 – Slow groove kicks in] My man done gone and left me For some woman from uptown She keeps him stocked in whisky Well I darn hope that he drowns He promised me his loving Said he'd give me all he got Now he givin’ it elsewhere For the price of a shot [Chorus – Let the organ swell, let it cry] Gotta pull myself together Forget about his lies And dry these tears From my blue-grey eyes [Verse 2 – Add a little stomp now] Gonna buy myself a ticket Take the morning train Handgun in my pocket He's gonna feel my pain [Chorus – Slower, heavier] Gotta pull myself together Forget about his lies And dry these tears From my blue-grey eyes [Bridge – Guitar solo, crying bends and all] (instrumental – let the guitar wail like a woman scorned) [Final Chorus – Quiet at first, build to full sound] Gotta pull myself together Forget about his lies And dry these tears From my blue-grey eyes [Outro – Fading guitar, slow and soulful] (spoken low) Yeah... my blue-grey eyes... but they ain't cryin' no more.
