Ain't Nothin' Shakin'

(album: The Musical Loves, Life And Sorrow's Of America's Great Country Star - 1967)

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

Hurt keeps a looking through my window
The heartaches are laughing in the hall
And I've got the news that old man blues
Is a seeping through the cracks in the wall
The end is a waiting round the corner
And hope is just about gone
If you only knew how I needed you
Well, then you'd come a running back home
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

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
No, there ain't nothing shaking but the leaves...
