Thread Name: Origin: There Ain't No Sweet Man That's Worth...
Subject: Lyr Add: THERE AIN'T NO SWEET MAN THAT'S WORTH...
THERE AIN'T NO SWEET MAN THAT'S WORTH THE SALT OF MY TEARS
(Fred Fisher)
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
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 tears
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 (see me) 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 tears
Ba-ba-da-doo, wah da da da do, wah da da ba do, wha da-oh!
Ba-da wah da-oh! Shh!
