The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well I cannot keep from crying sometimes

You know I cannot keep from crying sometimes

My heart is full of sorrow

My eyes are full of tears

I cannot keep from crying sometimes

Well I thought when she first left me

I'd get on a little while

Soon it'll be all over

And I'd journey with a smile

But as I get older

I think of what I told her

I cannot keep from crying sometimes

I cannot keep from crying sometimes

You know I cannot keep from crying sometimes

My heart is full of sorrow

My eyes are full of tears

I cannot keep from crying sometimes

Well I thought when she first left me

I'd get on a little while

Soon it'll be all over

And I'd journey with a smile

But as I get older

I think of what I told her

I laugh to keep from crying sometimes

You know I cannot keep from crying sometimes

You know I cannot keep from crying sometimes

My heart is full of sorrow

My eyes are full of tears

I cannot keep from crying sometimes

I laugh to keep from crying sometimes

Well I cannot keep from crying sometimes

You know I cannot keep from crying sometimes

My heart is full of sorrow

My eyes are full of tears

I cannot keep from crying sometimes

Well I thought when she first left me

I'd get on a little while

Soon it'll be all over

And I'd journey with a smile

But as I get older

I think of what I told her

I laugh to keep from crying some times
