I CRIED ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK
(Liz Anderson)

Norman Jean - 1965
Liz Anderson - 1965


Our divorce has been granted, there's no more you and me
You don't care any longer what I think
You gave me so much money if I'd let you go free
And I cried all the way to the bank

For it was you that I wanted, not your gold
It won't warm me when the nights are dark and cold
I've got money to burn and for that there's you to thank
But I cried all the way to the bank

(Instrumental Break)

Now with all of this money, you have paid me to go
Tell me where can I buy some happiness
For my heart is so heavy that I'd sure like to know
How can something this empty weigh so much

For it was you that I wanted, not your gold
It won't warm me when the nights are dark and cold
I've got money to burn and for that there's you to thank
But I cried all the way to the bank
