TEARS BROKE OUT ON ME
(Hank Cochran)


Eddy Arnold - 1962
Red Sovine - 1963
Hank Cochran - 1965




Now, I haven't been well in the last few days
Not since my baby up and walked away
Packed her things and just said, "So long" 
Said, "I won't be back, this time I'm gone"

And that's when the tears broke out on me 
And I came down with the miseries
A fever of blues about a hundred and three
And that's when the tears broke out on me

I never was sick up till then 
But I've got a feelin' this will do me in
'Cause everytime I think about the things she said 
I get real sick and have to go to bed

And that's when the tears break out on me 
Then I come down with the miseries
A fever of blues about a hundred and three
And that's when the tears break out on me

They say I'll live, well I hope so 
'Cause right about now I don't know
I see your face or hear your name from a friend 
And it starts all over again

And that's when the tears break out on me 
Then I come down with the miseries
A fever of blues about a hundred and three
And that's when the tears break out on me
And that's when the tears break out on me
And that's when the tears break out on me
And that's when the tears .......... FADE
