There Ain’t No Sweet Man That's Worth The Salt Of My Tears (Alternate Version)

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
