Lyrics to 96 Tears (from the "Escape Artist" album by Garland Jeffreys)

Too many teardrops for one heart to be cryin'
Too many teardrops for one heart to carry on
You're way on top now
Since you left me
You're always laughin'
Way down at me
Better watch out now
I'm gonna get there
We'll be together
For just a little while
And then I'm gonna put you
Way down here
And you'll start cryin'
Ninety-six tears
Baby cry
Baby cry

And when the sun comes up
I'll be on top
You'll be right down there
Lookin' up
And I might wave
To come up here
But I don't see you
Wavin' now
I'm way down here
Wonderin' how
How I'm gonna get you
But I know now
I'll just cry, cry,
I'll just cry

Too many teardrops for one heart to be cryin'
Too many teardrops for one heart
To carry on
You're gonna cry ninety-six tears
You're gonna cry ninety-six tears
You're gonna cry, cry, cry, cry, now
You're gonna cry, cry, cry, cry
Ninety-six tears
Lemme see those tears come rolling down your face baby
Ninety-six tears
Cry, cry, cry
In the midnight hour
Cry, cry, cry
All night long
Cry, cry, cry...
