Hold Her When She Cries

She's holdin tight to a bottle

She sure is looking blue

And all the angels who surround him

Well, hell, that's nothin' new

He don't give a damn

How he does her wrong

And her eyes are on the floor

When he sings those cheatin' songs

Well, it's the same old story everynight

And, Lord, it's plain to see

That the whiskey took the place

Yeah, the whiskey took the place

Where her pride used to be

Oh, I wish she'd let me be the one

To hold her when she cries

And I'd pick up the pieces

Lord, she's gonna fall apart tonight

Oh, he don't give a damn

He's gonna cheat and he's gonna lie

And I wish she'd let me hold her

Hold her when she cries

Well, the years ain't been kind to him

But, hell, he ain't changed his ways

And she's a good hearted woman

Don't even make the set these days

Well, she finally up and left him

Lord, after all this time

And that good hearted woman

I finally made her mine

Oh, I wish she'd let me be the one

To hold her when she cries

And I'd pick up the pieces

Lord, she's gonna fall apart tonight

Oh, he don't give a damn

He's still gonna cheat and he's gonna lie

And I wish she'd let me hold her

Hold her when she cries

Hell, I wish she'd let me hold her

Hold her tonight
