Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cry, whoa-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Cry, whoa-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh

There is a story
That I must tell
Of two lovers
That I knew well
Now they must cry, cry, whoa-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Their blues away
(Cry cry cry their blues away)

Her name was Sue yeah
His name was Earl
His love was Lorraine
Such a wonderful girl
But they must cry, cry, whoa-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Their blues away
(Their blues away)

Love will make you happy
And love will make you cry
Love will make the tears fall
When your lover says goodbye

And they must cry, cry, whoa-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Your blues away
(Cry cry cry their blues away)

This story ends yeah
It was no lie
Names have been changed dear
To protect you and I

But we must cry, cry, whoa-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Our blues away
(Cry cry cry)
(Our blues away)
And we must cry cry, whoa-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Our blues away)
Our blues away
(Cry cry cry, our blues away)




We must cry, we must cry, oh my darling
(Our blues away)

Overall Meaning

The song ‘My True Story’ by Aaron Neville is a classic tale of a tragic love story. It speaks of two lovers, Sue and Earl, and Earl's love for Lorraine, a wonderful girl. The song tells us that love can make us happy, but it can also make us cry. The lovers in this story must cry their blues away, indicating that their love story is one that hasn’t ended well.


The song highlights the pain of heartbreak in a beautiful manner through its soulful melody and lyrics. It reflects on how sometimes love is not enough, and how two people who love each other deeply can still be forced to separate. The last verse of the song reveals that the story was true but the names were changed to protect the people involved. Ultimately, the song comforts listeners by suggesting that crying is necessary for healing, and that even pain can ultimately be overcome through time.
