Where did the phrase " Cry me a river" come from?

I might not be right, but I disagree with the answer above... wouldn't it be a metaphor?

The justin timberlake song. Just kidding. It is sort of like an opposite type of personification because you can't actually cry a river. I don't know what it is called but I hope this helps.
