[Verse 1]

On that hill, I'll be hanging

From an old oak tree with a rope too short

And all I've done, all your love

It won't stop a branch from staying up

[Chorus]

But ya don't have to cry anymore for me

'Cause I'm flying away on a soft southern breeze

Just say you'll remember, that's all that I need

But ya don't have to cry anymore

[Verse 2]

In that grave, I will lie

Under these deeds piled up

And nothing you say can move that clay

Dust to dust, it is done

[Chorus]

But ya don't have to cry anymore for me

'Cause I'm flying away on a soft southern breeze

Just say you'll remember, that's all that I need

But ya don't have to cry anymore

[Bridge]

Now in that tomb, three whole days

Sins and fears swept away

You and I both know when they roll of that stone

There's a new hope singing in the light

[Chorus]

So you don't have to cry anymore for me

You can cry for yourself if you still don't believe

There's sinners and scoundrels all along heavens gates

So ya don't have to cry, I hope you don't cry

You don't have to cry anymore
