Here's a little history behind the title song
Mack McCormick recorded Lighnin' Hopkins singing it in Houston on 13 July 1959 thus:
O-o-o-h boy have you ever seen , oh man, a one eyed woman cry?
Oh have you ever seen, oh man, a one eyed woman cry?
Y'know the poor soul looks so pitiful, oh Lord, cryin' out of that one eye.
Yes y'know it's misery, it's misery, every time, man, she cry it hurt poor me
Yes y'know it's misery, it's misery, every time, man, she cry it hurt poor me
She ain't got nothin' but one eye to cry from,
when there's somethin' in that good eye,
it hurts me to know that she can't see.
I said, have you ever seen , oh man, a one eyed woman cry?
O-o-o-h have you ever seen , oh man, a one eyed woman cry?
Y-e-a-h y'know she looks so pitiful oh man, cryin' out of that one eye.
