Original lyrics
ENI have made my way around the USA
Songs and funny sayings is my game
Then she left me and it's true it broke my heart in two
And now I'm trying hard to hide the pain
Make 'em laugh make 'em laugh tell a joke don't let 'em know
That this heart inside of me is hurtin' so
Make 'em laugh make'em laugh sing a happy song
And just pretend there's nothing wrong with me funny me
[ guitar ]
They once said I had style had 'em rolling in the aisle
But something sure went wrong when she left me
Though I tell the very same jokes I'm just not gettin' through to the folks
And I'm wishing I was home in Tennessee
Make 'em laugh make 'em laugh tell a joke...
