Shakin' the Blues Away Lyrics
Shakin' the Blues Away - Ruth Etting
There's an old superstition way down south
Every darkie believes that trouble won't stay
If you shake it away
When they hold a revival way down south
Every darkie with care and trouble that day
Tries to shake it away
Shaking the blues away unhappy news away
If you are blue it's easy to
Shake off your cares and troubles
Telling the blues to go they may refuse to go
But as a rule they'll go if you'll
Shake them away
Do like the darkies do listening to a
Preacher way down south
They shake their bodies so to and for
With every shake a lucky break
Proving that there's a way to chase your cares away
If you would lose your weary blues
Shake them away
I gotta blues you gotta blues
All god's chilling gotta blues
Come and join a rebel and we'll shake off the devil
And we'll shake all over
God's heaven heaven heaven
Anyone objecting to shaking ain't going there
Heaven heaven
Gonna shake all over god's heaven
I gotta shake you gotta shake
All god's chilling gotta shake shake shake
Nothing could be sweeter than to
Shake with Saint Peter
When we shake all over
God's heaven heaven heaven
Anyone objecting to shaking ain't going there
Heaven heaven
Gonna shake all over god's heaven
Shaking shaking the blues away
Unhappy unhappy news away
If you are blue it's easy to
Shake off your cares and troubles
Telling telling the blues to go they may
They may refuse to go
But as a rule they'll go if you'll
Shake them away
Do like the darkies do listening to
Apreacher way down south
They shake their bodies so to and for
With every shake a lucky break
Proving proving that there's a way
To chase to chase your cares away
If you would lose your weary blues
Shake them away
