Man Has Cried Lyrics - Stonewall Jackson

They say that love's a very old word 

It dated back to the starting of time 

You can read it in the pages of hist'ry 

Where for the love of a woman man has cried 

They say that Cesar wealth before the battle 

The one he loved had found somebody knew 

And I guess that's why these tears of mine keep falling 

Well, like him I too am losing you 

They say that absence make the heart grow fonder 

Short partings can bring tears to our eyes 

Like the story of Sampson and Delilah 

For the love of a woman man has cried 

That's why I'm not ashamed to admit it 

Ashamed to say I've cried for you at night 

For the pages of hist'ry repeal it 

Where for the love of a woman man has cried
