there ain't no sweet gal that's worth the salt of my tears

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

if it 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 good-bye

so long

gal

no more gal

gonna lay me down and just die

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

ain't no girl gonna make me cry

you know i rather die

i'm gonna walk right of your door

you're gonna see me no more

you don't messed up a good thing

i want you to take sweet wedding ring

you have broken my heart

mmm

i look at you and see taunts

and you ain't worth my tears

not after all these years

you don't messed up a good thing

you don't 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
