The steel guitar played I met her And it played the night I lost her Yes you drove her to another With your sweet Hawaiian chimes I know your sorry, but it's too late now And I know you meant no harm But the waltz that you were playin' Put her in another's arms Cry steel guitar, cry on Your crying because you know she is gone Gone with another and I'm all alone So cry steel guitar, cry on. Cry steel guitar, cry on You're cryin' because you know she is gone Gone with another and I'm all alone Cry steel guitar, cry on
