There Ain't No Sweet Man That's Worth The Salt of Lyrics

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 
Ba-ba-da-doo, wah da da da do, wah da da ba do, wha da-oh! 

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 
Ba da da da da da do! 

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! 
Da-oh! 

Broken-hearted sisters, 
Aggravating misters, lend me your ears! 
There ain't no sweet man that's worth the salt of my 
Ba-ba-da-doo, wah da da da do, wah da da ba do, wha da-oh! 
Ba-da wah da-oh! Shh!
