The steel guitar played the night I met him
And it played the night I lost him
Yes, you drove him 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'
Drove him to another's arms

So cry steel guitar, cry on
You're crying 'cause you do know he is gone
Gone with another and I'm all alone
Co cry steel guitar, cry on

So cry steel guitar, cry on
You're crying 'cause you do know he is gone
Gone with another and I'm all alone
So cry steel guitar, cry on
