[Intro]
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Boo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Boo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
[Verse]
Have you seen the sunshine
Smiling through the rain?
Just the same, I'm smiling
Though my heart's in pain
It's because my daddy
Has turned his back on me
Though I smile, I'm almost dying
For his company
[Chorus]
When I laugh, ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
There's no use to fool you
Because I want to cry, boo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Oh! What more beside it, I fail to hide it
When sweet thoughts come to me
'Bout how nice he'd do me
They go all through me
That's why I'm blue
When I laugh, ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I cannot but moan to be all alone to cry
Boo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Oh! My cup is tilted because I'm jilted
Since I laugh and cry with
I'd as soon to die with
Those awful laughin' cryin' blues
[Bridge]
Ha! Ha!
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Boo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Boo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
[Chorus]
Whеn I laugh, ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Cannot but moan to be all alone to cry
Boo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Oh! My cup is tilted bеcause I'm jilted
Since I laugh and cry, honey baby
I'd as soon to die with
Those awful laughin' cryin' blues
Laughin’ Cryin’ Blues was written by Bob Ricketts & Porter Grainger.
