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
