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
