It Keeps Right on A-Hurtin
(And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone)

I cry myself to sleep each night wishing I could hold you tight
Life seems so empty since you went away
The pillow where you lay your head now holds my lonely tears instead
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

It keeps right on a-hurtin' every minute of the day
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely
And I can't help it I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

They say a man should never cry but when I see you passing by
My heart breaks down and cries a million tears
You broke my heart and set me free but you forgot your memory
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' every minute of the day
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely
And I can't help it I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
