Weep No More
Bobby Tucker & His Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've finally had my fill
Of sitting around and crying in my beer
I've drunk the bitter cup
I've downed the bitter pill
While waiting for the silver lining to appear
I'm going to stack my blues up
I'm going to pack my blues up
And get wise to myself
(Weep no more, my baby)
(Weep no more, my baby)
Weep no more
I'm going to weep no more
I'm putting an end to this lonesome game
(It's such a lonesome game this crying)
Cry no tears, I'm going to cry no tears
Each time that I happen to hear his name
(I hear his name)
I'm going out on the town
This hopeless torch I will drown
'Cause I'm tired of running around
(Running around)
With just a memory
Weep no more, I'm going to weep no more
Till somebody weeps
(Until somebody weeps) for me
I'm going to stack my blues up
On the very highest shelf
I'm going to pack my blues up
And get wise to myself
Weep no more, I'm going to weep no more
Till somebody weeps for me

I'm just about fed up
I am on the verge of being extremely tired of feeling this way
I've finally had my fill
I have had enough and can't take it anymore
Of sitting around and crying in my beer
I have been sulking and feeling sad while drinking alcohol
I've drunk the bitter cup
I have faced and endured the unpleasant reality of my situation
I've downed the bitter pill
I have accepted the unpleasant truth about my situation
While waiting for the silver lining to appear
I have been hoping for something positive to come out of this situation
I'm going to stack my blues up
I am going to contain and control my negative emotions
On the very highest shelf
I am going to put my negative emotions far away from me
I'm going to pack my blues up
I am going to put my negative emotions in a package and forget about them
And get wise to myself
I am going to be more self-aware and stop this harmful behavior
(Weep no more, my baby)
Stop crying, my dear
(Weep no more, my baby)
Stop crying, my dear
Weep no more
Do not cry anymore
I'm going to weep no more
I will not cry anymore
I'm putting an end to this lonesome game
I am going to stop feeling lonely and sorry for myself
(It's such a lonesome game this crying)
Crying is a very lonely and isolating experience
Cry no tears, I'm going to cry no tears
I will not shed any more tears
Each time that I happen to hear his name
I won't feel sad anymore when I hear his name
(I hear his name)
It hurts me to hear his name
I'm going out on the town
I will go out and enjoy myself
This hopeless torch I will drown
I will forget about this unrequited love
'Cause I'm tired of running around
I am tired of feeling restless and aimless
(Running around)
Feeling restless and aimless
With just a memory
Being held back by just a memory
Weep no more, I'm going to weep no more
I will not cry anymore
Till somebody weeps
Until someone else feels sad for me
(Until somebody weeps) for me
Until someone else feels sorry for me

Bobby Tucker was my grandfather and I miss him greatly. Lots of great memories that I would trade for absolutely nothing. Thank you for uploading this :)

Ahhh, just found out this track is "Don't Explain", one of the songs closely identified with the great Billie Holiday. Bobby and Billie had a great friendship/working partnership, as many jazz purists know. Too bad their working relationship lasted only 3 years, due to Billie's quickly downward spiraling life (drugs, abusive men, etc.). Bobby was a very handsome man with a great feel for the piano as this track shows. He deserves a lot of credit and recognition for his talents. If you type "Reputations Billie Holiday" you'll see a great BBC video showing Bobby giving an in-depth interview about Billie Holiday.

Sorry for late. Honestly, I've NOT played the LP for a long time but I will NOT say goodbye to my copy for another 20 years because it must be a GREAT ALBUM! Their jazz is so nice. Please let me know if you know other his albums. Thanks, Taka
