- Description
- "Women's tears do not mean a thing! Their eyes shed tears while they sing with their lips." The form of this song is typically folk in its continued refrain. The situation to which the singer appears to refer, is the funeral dance in which the women sing lustily for the dance, while artificially inducing tears to fall in respect for the dead. Topical song with guitar and bottle
