Shakin like a leaf on a tree,
Thats coming loose from the stem
Shakin like a leaf on a tree,
Because Im coming loose from my man!
Im like a weeping willow,
Weeping on my pillow,
For years and years,
There aint no sweet man thats worth the salt of my tears
Down and down he dragged me,
Like a fiend he nagged me,
For years and years,
There aint no sweet man thats worth the salt of my tears
Although I may be blue,
Still, Im 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 aint no sweet man thats worth the salt of my tears
Although I may be blue,
Still, Im 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 aint no sweet man thats worth the salt of my tears
