THESE TEARS ARE NOT FOR YOU
(Jenny Lou Carson)


Hank Snow - 1956



        

I'm not cryin' 'cause you're gone , you didn't make me blue
So don't you worry, darlin', these tears are not for you

I'm not cryin' cause you said you found somebody new
No don't you worry, darlin', 'cause these tears are not for you

I knew all along that you were only playin' a game
Just because I've burned my wings, that's no reason you're the flame
Don't begin imaginin' you broke my heart in two
No don't you worry, darlin', 'cause these tears are not for you

Just because you trampled on a dream that won't come true
Oh, don't you worry, darlin', 'cause these tears are not for you
Go ahead and have your fun, I don't care what you do
And don't you worry, darlin', 'cause these tears are not for you

I knew from the start that you were just the triflin' kind
When a new love comes along you leave a broken heart behind
I'm not cryin' over all the dreams you broke in two
So don't you worry, darlin', 'cause these tears are not for you
