BIG TEARS ARE COMIN'
(Dallas Frazier / Arthur Leo Owens / Buddy Mize)


Melba Montgomery - 1965


 

I feel big tears are comin'
The rivers will be overrunnin'
My baby's up and gone
There's a flood comin' on
'Cause big tears are comin'
I feel big tears are comin'

Everything started out jumpin'
Then my jumpin' little world fell down
'Cause he left a letter sayin' he'd do better
Swingin' in a more jumpin' town

I feel big tears are comin'
The rivers will be overrunnin'
My baby's up and gone
There's a flood comin' on
'Cause big tears are comin'
I feel big tears are comin'

I'm gonna have to take up cryin'
To wash him outta my mind
That fancy go getter went and left me in a fever
Get ready for my cryin' time

I feel big tears are comin'
The rivers will be overrunnin'
My baby's up and gone
There's a flood comin' on
'Cause big tears are comin'
I feel big tears are comin'

I feel big tears are comin'
The rivers will be overrunnin'
My baby's up and gone
There's a flood comin' on
'Cause big tears are comin'
I feel big tears are comin'
