You know, I'm like a weeping willow
Weeping on my pillow
For years and years
There ain't no sweet gal worth the salt of my tears

Let me tell you now
Down and down she dragged me
Like a fiend she nagged me
For years and years
There ain't no sweet gal worth the salt of my tears

Although I may be blue
Still, I'm true
I must tell her goodbye
So long, pal, no more gal
Gonna lay me down and just die

So, broken-hearted sisters
Aggravatin' misters, lend me your ears
There ain't no sweet gal worth the salt of my tears
Worth the salt of my tears

Ain't no girl gonna make me cry
You know I rather die
I'm gonna walk right out your door
Gonna see me no more
You done messed up a good thing
I want you to take back your sweet wedding ring
You have broken my heart
Mmm, I look at you and see thorns
And you ain't worth my tears
Not after all these years
You done messed up a good thing
You done messed up a good thing
So, broken-hearted sisters
Aggravating misters, lend me your ears
There ain't no sweet gal worth the salt of my tears
Worth the salt of my tears

It feels good, T, keep on playin'
