Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seven lonely nights make one lonely me
Ever since the time you told me we were through
Seven lonely days I cried and I cried for you
Oh, my darlin' you're cryin', boo-hoo-hoo-hoo
There's no use in denyin' I cried for you
It was your favorite pastime, makin' me blue
Seven hankies blue I filled with my tears
Seven letters, too, I filled with my fears
Guess it never pays to make your lover blue
Seven lonely days I cried and I cried for you
Oh, my darlin you're cryin', boo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Now, there's no use in denyin' I cried for you
It was your favorite pastime, makin' me blue
Last week was the last time I cried for you
Last week was the last time I cried for you

You should never make your lover sad because it will only cause pain for both of you

RIP Bonnie, this song will always live on.
Thanks for standing up for country female singers when no one wanted to give them a chance. 1953, WOW. Only Kitty Wells, Jean Shepard, Goldie Hill and Rose Maddox were around at the time.

Always nice to hear this song, especially by Bonnie Lou. What had those female singers in the fifties that I miss nowadays ?
