Ain't Nothin' Shakin' (But The Leaves)

(album: Miss Smith Goes To Nashville - 1966)

Well, ever since the day that you left me I been whining like a little ole pup
Somewhere down when you left town and you ain't a gonna come back up
A walking and wearing out leather a skipping out the hardwood floor
Staring at the phone that you've been gone and listening for the knock on the door

Well, there ain't nothing shaking but the leaves on the trees
And they wouldn't shake if it wasn't for the breeze
There ain't nothing happening with the birds and the bees
There ain't nothing shaking but the leaves

Now hurt's looking in through the window my heartaches are laughing in the hall
And I got news that old man blues are peeping through the cracks in the wall
The end is a waiting round the corner and hope is just about gone
If you only knew what I need to do then you'd come a running back home

Oh well, there ain't nothing shaking but the leaves on the trees
And they wouldn't shake if it wasn't for the breeze
There ain't nothing happening with the birds and the bees
There ain't nothing shaking but the leaves
There ain't nothing shaking but the leaves
There ain't nothing shaking but the leaves
