TWO LITTLE RIVERS OF TEARS
(Dallas Frazier)


Wilma Burgess - 1966


Two little rivers of tears 
Streamin' down my face
I got nothin' but two little rivers of tears

I had a good man, none better in the land
His love was true perfection
I never dreamed his love could ever go wrong

Odds of another girl ever takin' my world
>From me were one in a million
But the one in a million she came along

And now there's two little rivers of tears
Streamin' down my face
Two little rivers of heartbreak souvenirs

All night stay awake, hurtin' from a heartache
Just about to all that I can take
I got nothin' but two little rivers of tears

I never thought about, never even had a doubt
That he could be persuaded
Or give in to some girl a-leadin' him on

He'd never let me down, never ever run around
I kept on tellin' myself
Until one mornin' I awoke and found he was gone

And now there's two little rivers of tears
Streamin' down my face
Two little rivers of heartbreak souvenirs

All night stay awake, hurtin' from a heartache
Just about to all that I can take
I got nothin' but two little rivers of tears
I got nothin' but two little rivers of tears
