There Ain't No Sweet Man That's Worth the Salt of My Tears Lyrics

Shaking like a leaf on a tree
that's coming loose from the stem.
Shaking 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 goodbye.
Rather than have that man,
gonna lay me down and just die.

So broken-hearted sisters,
aggravatin' 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 goodbye.
Rather than have that man,
gonna lay me down and just die.

So broken-hearted sisters,
aggravatin' misters,
lend me your ears:
There ain't no sweet man
that's worth the salt of my tears.
