She’s My Shaker

[Verse 1]
Well, she died in a fever
On the day she couldn’t shake anymore
Though I said I wouldn’t leave her
I had my eyes pinned down to the floor
There was nothing anybody could do
To chase the devil ashore
And though I loved her for an hour
So you know I couldn’t sing anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
Well you don’t move like you used to
You don’t move like you used to
Though you’ll never know how
She’s my shaker now

[Chorus]
And they went
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
They went
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

[Verse 2]
Well, you know you make me nervous
But I wouldn't take a bullet for you
And if life’s a bed of roses
What’s the use in all the lies you go through?
Well, there’s nothing in The Bible says
You can’t shake the shaker is there, Angeline?
And though you stumble on the answer
Did you make her vent the dust and the spleen

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t move like you used to
You don’t shake like you used to
Though you’ll never know how
She’s my shaker now

[Chorus]
And they went
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

[Refrain]
Well
Ring me up
Ring me up
Give me your advances
Cut me loose
Cut me loose
Let me take my chances
Angeline, Angeline
Call me when you need me
Tie me up
Pin me down
Dry my eyes and feed me

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, you don’t move like you used to
You don’t move like you used to
You don’t move like you used to

[Chorus]
They went
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Yes they did they went
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
They went
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
They went
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
