Lyrics
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 mope, 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
And I know we're through
I must tell him goodbye
Rather than have that man
Gonna lay me down and die
So, brokenhearted sisters
All you wolves and misters
Lend me your ears
There ain't no sweet man
That's worth the salt of my tears
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 mope, 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
And I know we're through
I must tell him goodbye
Rather than have that man
Gonna lay me down and die
So, brokenhearted sisters
All you wolves and misters
Lend me your ears
'Cause there never was a sweet man
Worth the salt of my tears
