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!
