You were cryin' in your pretzels when I met you

[Verso 2]

Yes, my sweet, I came into that bar
E
It was in Mississippi
A
There you were, sitting in the corner
A
Crying in your pretzels
B
You'd already sogged up
B
A whole plate of potato chips
B
But the management didn't mind
B E
Because you were a regular customer
E
And I saw you sittin' there and I said
E A
"That person needs a friend
B E
And I'm gonna be a friend
E
Ain't nobody deserves to cry in his pretzels
A
All night and wash away the salt."

What can I do to ease the pain?"
