The steel guitar played when I met her and it played the night I lost her
Yes you drove her to another with your sweet Hawaiian charms
I know your sorry but it's too late now and I know you meant no harm
But the waltz that you were playing put her in another's arms.

Cry steel guitar, cry on
You're 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 crying because you know she is gone)
Gone with another and I'm all alone
So cry steel guitar, cry on...
