I'm Crying

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.

I'm crying for the mother who lost her only son

Barely 16 years survive and forced to carry a gun

A cross the bloody battlefield. Another bravefull son

I'm crying for the mother who lost her only son

I'm crying for the father who lost his baby-child

Mankind carry him of, to work his this cotton field

Says If you don't mind me boy, I whip you little high

I'm crying for the father who lost his baby-child

I'm crying for the sister who lost her loving man

Killed him of in the dark of knight, hung him from a lamp

Couldn't see there faces, but we know it was them

I'm crying for the sister who lost her loving man

I'm crying for the brother who couldn't see the light

Burned down our cornfield, and stole our livestock

Joined up in Richmond, when we know it was a poor-mans fight

I'm crying for the brother who couldn't see the light

I'm crying for the mother who lost her only son

I'm crying for the father who lost his baby child

I'm crying for the sister who lost her loving man

I'm crying for the brother who couldn't see the light

I'm crying for the mother

I'm crying for the father

I'm crying for the sister

I'm crying for the brother

I'm crying
