I Hung My Head and Cried

100%

You told me that you cared
That you would never lie
I saw you in another's arms
And I hung my head and I cried

Hung down my head and cried
Hung down my head and cried
I saw you in another's arms
And I hung my head and I cried

I saw you standing there
Looked straight into your eyes
Rosy cheeks and coal black hair
I hung my head and I cried

Each night to God above
I prayed for wings to fly
I'd fly away to another world
And I hung my head and I cried
