Lyrics
Mr. Bert Kopecky runs a liquor store
His Daughter Susan is a small town whore
Her Brother Russell found her out on the street
Sobbin' I don't wanna Cry no more
Sobbin' I don't wanna Cry no more
Mr. Bert Kopecky found the ace of spades
In the cuff of his trouser leg
All the other gamblers held him down till he begged,
Sobbin' "I don't wanna Cry no more"
Sobbin' "I don't wanna Cry no more"
Try to use your money to put down your fear
Or drown your sorrow in your glass of beer
Maybe find some comfort in a lover's arms
But will you wake up all alone with your so called charms
Mr. Bert Kopecky closed his liquor store
Now Russell can't buy liquor there no more
Susan has a baby and she walks the floor
Singing "Hush now don't you cry anymore"
"Hush now don't you cry anymore" (repeat and fade) Eb/Dm
