Classic Country Lyrics: "I Couldn't Keep From Crying" von Marty Robbins

Marty Robbins war zwar vorwiegend für seine
Wildwestballaden bekannt, doch nahm er auch
ganz viel anderes Material auf, und auch unter
seinen Eigenkompositionen fand sich einiges tri-
vialeres Material. Dieser Song wäre vielleicht aus
der Erinnerung verschwunden, wenn nicht Johnny
Cash ihn gecovert hätte und Marty damit zu einem
frühen Erfolg als Songschreiber verhalf.

I saw you walking by his side heard you whisper all 
those lies
And I couldn't keep from crying
You sang him love songs tenderly that should have 
been for you and me
And I couldn't keep from crying

I saw his eyes drinking your charms 
while he held you in his arms
Him with all his wedding ways 
rules your heart now in my place
I stood and watched him steal a kiss from two lips 
I know I'll miss
And I couldn't keep from crying
[ steel ]
I saw his eyes drinking your charms...
