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 true
I must tell him good bye
Rather than have that man
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 true
I must tell him good bye
Rather than have that man
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
