Cry A While Lyrics - Bob Dylan

Well, i had to go down and see a guy named mr. goldsmith 

a nasty, dirty, double-crossin', back-stabbin' phony i didn't wanna have to be dealin' with 

but i did it for you and all you gave me was a smile 

well, i cried for you - now it's your turn to cry awhile 

I don't carry dead weight - i'm no flash in the pan 

all right, i'll set you straight, can't you see i'm a union man? 

i'm lettin' the cat out of the cage, i'm keeping a low profile 

well, i cried for you - now it's your turn, you can cry awhile 

Feel like a fighting rooster - feel better than i ever felt 

but the pennsylvania line's in an awful mess and the denver road is about to melt 

i went to the church house, every day i go an extra mile 

well, i cried for you - now it's your turn, you can cry awhile 

Last night 'cross the alley there was a pounding on the walls 

it must have been don pasquale makin' a two a.m. booty call 

to break a trusting heart like mine was just your style 

well, i cried for you - now it's your turn to cry awhile 

I'm on the fringes of the night, fighting back tears that i can't control 

some people they ain't human, they got no heart or soul 

well, i'm crying to the lord - i'm tryin' to be meek and mild 

yes, i cried for you - now it's your turn, you can cry awhile 

Well, there's preachers in the pulpits and babies in the cribs 

i'm longin' for that sweet fat that sticks to your ribs 

i'm gonna buy me a barrel of whiskey - i'll die before i turn senile 

well, i cried for you - now it's your turn, you can cry awhile 

Well, you bet on a horse and it ran on the wrong way 

i always said you'd be sorry and today could be the day 

i might need a good lawyer, could be your funeral, my trial 

well, i cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry awhile
