I have wandered my whole life through
Sweetheart, I've come back to you
Hoping now at last that you'd be mine.
Though I stayed away
I've come back to stay
That I need you and I want you
More and more each day.

Nobody lied
when they said I cried over you.
Nobody lied
when they said I most died over you.
Ever since I've been away
I've been grieving night and day
I want you always by my side.
(Oh my crying days are over)
Nobody lied when they said
I was blue over you.
Got so blue I scarce knew what to do.
All my life before me looks
so dreary and so black
I think I'll choose the river
and I'll never come back.
Nobody lied
when they said I cried over you.

Nobody lied
when they said I cried over you.
Nobody lied
when they said I most died over you.
Ever since I've been away
I've been grieving night and day
I want you always by my side.
(Oh my crying days are over)
Nobody lied when they said
I was blue over you.
Got so blue I scarce knew what to do.
I missed you in the morning dear
my coffee was so cold
and I'm right here to say
I missed your sweet Jelly Roll.
Nobody lied
when they said I cried over you.
(I mean you only you.)

I left you because you grieved me
But I love you yet believe me
Let's forget those bitter days gone by.
I thought I'd forget
But no one I've met
Who came near me tried to cheer me
My life spells regret.

Nobody lied
when they said I cried over you.
Nobody lied
when they said I most died over you.
Ever since I've been away
I've been grieving night and day
I want you always by my side.
(Oh my crying days are over)
Nobody lied when they said
I was blue over you.
Got so blue I scarce knew what to do.
All my life before me looks
so dreary and so black
I think I'll choose the river
and I'll never come back.
Nobody lied
when they said I cried over you.

Nobody lied
when they said I cried over you.
Nobody lied
when they said I most died over you.
Ever since I've been away
I've been grieving night and day
I want you always by my side.
(Oh my crying days are over)
Nobody lied when they said
I was blue over you.
Got so blue I scarce knew what to do.
I missed you in the morning dear
my coffee was so cold
and I'm right here to say
I missed your sweet Jelly Roll.
Nobody lied
when they said I cried over you.
(I mean you only you.)
