T Bone Burnett - 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 Aggravating 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 Aggravating misters, lend me your ears There ain't no sweet man
