Martha wainwright 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 & 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
