I’m Not Worth the Tears Songtext
von Dolly Parton

Mama didn′t always have
Those tears in her eyes
And daddy once was able
To hold his head up high

But now I brought disgrace
To my whole family
Now they cry, but I'm not worth
The tears they cry for me

I loved a boy and then I found
That he just led me on
So in my hurt and bitterness
I let myself go alone


But all I did was hurt myself
And shame my family
Now they cry, but I′m not worth
The tears they cry for me

No, I'm not worth the salt
In one tiny tear
Oh, why have I brought shame to
The ones I loved so dear

I'm so sorry that I hurt them
But they′ll never know how sorry
Now they cry, but I′m not worth
The tears they cry for me

Yes, now they cry, but I'm not worth
The tears they cry for me
