Shaking like a leaf on a tree
|
That's coming loose from the stem
|
Shaking 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 & years
|
There ain't no sweet man
|
That's worth the salt of my tears
|
|
Down & down he dragged me
|
Like a fiend he nagged me
|
For years & 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 goodbye
|
Rather than have that man
|
Gonna lay me down & 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 goodbye
|
Rather than have that man
|
Gonna lay me down & just die
|
|
So, broken-hearted sisters
|
Aggravating misters
|
Lend me your ears
|
There ain't no sweet man
|
