I'm Not Worth the Tears

(Dolly Parton)



Mama didn't always had those tears in her eyes

And daddy once was able to hold his head up high

But now I've brought disgrace to my whole family

Now they cry but I'm not worth the tears they cry for me.



I've loved a boy and then I found that he just led me on

So in my hurt and bitterness I let myself go wrong

But all I did was hurt myself and shame my family

Now they cry but I'm not worth the tears they cry for me.



No I'm not worth the salt in one tiny tear

Oh why have I brought shame to the ones I love so dear

I'm so sorry that I've hurt them but they'll never know how sorry

Now they cry but I'm not worth the tears they cry for me.



Yes, now they cry but I'm not worth the tears they cry for me.
