I can't hold the teardrops from my eyes,

For at sundown I will lay a dime

Then a man insulted

At the bar of the fool's paradise

Jim Reeves told me he
wanted to sing the song,
and there was one little line in there
that he said makes me want to do it,
and I said, what's that?
He said, I just want to say,
eat them words, mister.
How did you like the song?
