Shakin' like a leaf on a tree,
|
That's coming loose from the stem
|
Shakin' like a leaf on a tree,
|
Because I'm coming loose from my man!
|
|
I'm like a weeping willow,
|
Weeping on my pillow,
|
For years and years,
|
There ain't no sweet man that's worth the salt of my tears
|
|
Down and down he dragged me,
|
Like a fiend he nagged me,
|
For years and years,
|
There ain't no sweet man that's worth the salt of my tears
|
|
Although I may be blue,
|
Still, I'm through,
|
I must tell him good-bye!
|
Rather than have that man,
|
I'm gonna lay me down and just die!
|
|
So broken-hearted sisters,
|
Aggravating misters, lend me your ears!
|
There ain't no sweet man that's worth the salt of my tears
|
|
Although I may be blue,
|
Still, I'm through,
|
I must tell him good-bye!
|
Rather than have that man,
|
I'm gonna lay me down and just die!
|
|
So broken-hearted misters,
|
Aggravating sisters, lend me your ears!
|
There ain't no sweet man that's worth the salt of my tears
