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

What's the use of tryin

What's the use of cryin

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

Gonna tell him goodbye

Rather than have that man

Gonna lay me down and just die

Brokenhearted sisters

Aggravatin' misters

Lend me your ears

There ain't no sweet man

That's worth the salt of my tears

One time I met a gent

Broke and bent

He was singin' the blues

Brought him in and just as sure as sin

Walked off with my hubby's new shoes, shoe-shoe-shoes

Rather than be his'un

I would go to prison

And give three cheers

There ain't no sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet man

That's worth the salt of my tears

No how!

Brokenhearted sisters

Aggravatin' misters

Lend me your ears

There ain't no sweet man

That's worth the salt of my tears

No how!

There ain't no sweet man (No man)

That's worth the salt of my tears (No how)

There ain't no sweet man (No man)

That's worth the salt of my tears (No how)
