I'll Drown My Own Tears (1962-xx-xx: Threadgill's Bar, Austin, TX, USA) Songtext
von Janis Joplin

He brings a tear into my eyes
When I begin, Lord, to realize.
If you don′t think that, honey, you'll be lonesome,
You know I′ll drown, drown, oh Lord, in my own tears.


I know it's true into his mind
A little rain is bound to fall
But since you been gone honey I'm so blue,
It just keeps rainin′, keeps right on rainin′ more and more.

I didn't cry just like a child,
My poor tears, Lord, they were runnin′ wild.
If you don't think that baby you′ll be home soon now
You know I'll drown, drown, oh Lord in my own tears.
