The song Tears Came Rollin' Down by John Mayall's Bluesbreakers is about a man whose girlfriend leaves him without warning. The lyrics describe how she packed up her things and left, leaving the protagonist to reflect on what went wrong. He asks her if she's leaving him for another man, but she simply says that sometimes even best friends must part. The chorus repeats the line "my tears came rollin' down" to express the sadness and heartbreak the protagonist feels about losing his girlfriend. The song is a classic example of blues music, as it conveys a feeling of loss and loneliness through its melancholy melody and lyrics.
