What Are You Listening To Right Now?

.. I wonder if you've ever run across the C & W song: "I've got a sty in my eye from laying on my back, in my bed, crying over you."...

Is this it?


I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back,
In my bed while I cry over you,
And the tears in my ears are off the beaten track,
Since you said, "It's goodbye. we are through."
So if I should get water on the brain,
You will know you're the one who is to blame.
I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back,
In my bed while I cry over you.

I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back,
In my bed while I cry over you,
I've been cryin' these tears and soakin' in my sack,
Since the day I found you were untrue,
And if I don't get up pretty soon,
I'll turn into a sleepy lagoon.
I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back,
In my bed while I cry over you.

I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back,
In my bed while I cry over you.
It's been so many years, my sacroiliac
Feels as though it's been soaked through and through.
Oh, you lied when you said we'd take the plunge.
Now I know how it feels to be a sponge.
I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back,
In my bed while I cry over you.

Once my ma said to me, "There ain't no use to fret.
If you're wise, you will find someone new,"
And she's right as can be. It's gettin' mighty wet,
Lyin' here cryin' tears over you.
Comes the day when they overflow the brim,
I'll be sorry I never learned to swim.
I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back,
In my bed while I cry over you.
 
THANK YOU, THANK YOU,THANK YOU. I wonder if some other singer spoofed that song - maybe Jim Stafford, or Roger Miller or ???? I know how do you spoof a spoof? Somewhere I got "sty in the eye.":confused::idunno:lau:gig

Just based on the goofiness of their songs, many of which were spoofs on other songs, I'd just about bet they spoofed their own song somewhere along the way, with the version you recall.

Here's a bunch of their songs on youtube:
