There Ain’t No Sweet Man That’s Worth the Salt of My Tears Diana Krall

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
