pack up your sorrows

no use cryin'

talking to a stranger

namin' the sorrow you've seen

too many sad times

too many bad times

nobody knows what you mean

but if somehow you could pack up your sorrows

and give them all to me

you would lose them

i know how to use them

give them all to me

no use ramblin'

walkin' in the shadows

trailin' a wanderin' star

no one beside you

no one to hide you

nobody knows where you are

but if somehow you could pack up your sorrows

and give them all to me

you would lose them

i know how to use them

give them all to me

no use gamblin' runnin' in the darkness

looking for spirit that's free

too many wrong times

too many long times

nobody knows what you see

but if somehow you could pack up your sorrows

and give them all to me

you would lose them

i know how to use them

give them all to me

no use roamin'

lying by the roadside

seekin' a satisfied mind

too many highways

too many byways

and nobody's walkin' behind

but if somehow you could pack up your sorrows

and give them all to me

you would lose them

i know how to use them

give them all to me
