The steel guitar played that 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 so cry steel guitar cry on

[ steel ]

So cry steel guitar cry on...
