I was passing by the churchhouse

Just like I always do

Someone was getting married

So I peeped in to see who

Got upon a ladder

To get a better view

And bless my soul to my surprise

My darling it was you

That's when I cried

That's when I cried

I saw him take you for his bride

And I broke right down and cried

Now darling I forgive you

But I never will forget

Just why you didn't marry me

You haven't told me yet

I'm feeling low with someone

Who loves somebody else

I thought it over good last night

And I felt sorry for myself

That's when I cried

That's when I cried

I just couldn't keep it no more inside

So I broke right down and cried

What's done is done already

That's all there is to that

You got me so bewildered

Till I don't know where I'm at

I can't believe you're married

Can't get it through my head

And every time it crossed my mind

I wished that I were dead

Today I saw you passing

Hello was all I said

And bless my soul you looked at me

And you turned your pretty head

That's when I cried

That's when I cried

I put my foolish pride aside

I cried cried cried

I cried

I cried

Cried

I cried
