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

Brokenhearted sisters
Aggravatin' misters
Lend me your ears
There ain't no sweet man
That's worth the salt of my tears
