There Ain’t No Sweet Man (That’s Worth the Salt of My Tears) 3 Songtext
von Bix Beiderbecke

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 & years
There ain't no sweet man
That's worth the salt of my tears

Down & 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
That′s worth the salt of my tears
