There Ain't No Sweet Man That's Worth The Salt Of My Tears Lyrics - Singles - Martha Wainwright

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 & 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 & 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 & just die 

So, broken-hearted sisters 

Aggravating misters 

Lend me your ears 

There ain't no sweet man
