GRIEVING FOR YOU
(Joe Gibson / Joe Ribaud / Joe Gold)


Al Jolson - 1920
Marion Harris - 1920
Tony Pastor & His Orch. (vocal: Rosemary Clooney) - 1949







As recorded by MARION HARRIS:


Not long ago I went away, left you alone to pine
You went upon your way, dear, and I went upon mine
You said I would be sorry and I guess you were right

I'm always grieving for you, whenever I'm blue
Grieving for you, that's all that I do
Just as you said, I'm worried as I can be
And though you're far away, I need you more each day
No wonder I'm lonesome

Now that you've gone I'm trying to smile
Still I can see that after a while
Down in my heart I feel like I want to cry, want to cry
You know why, 'cause I'm grieving for you

Now that you've gone I'm trying to smile
Still I can see that after a while
Down in my heart I feel like I want to cry, want to cry
You know why, 'cause I'm grieving for you
