It Keeps Right on A-Hurtin'

And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

I cry myself to sleep each night
Wishin' 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 every 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 passin' 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 every 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
