She's My Shaker Lyrics

Well she died in a fever on the day
she couldn't shake anymore
And though I said I wouldn't leave her
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 or so
I couldn't sing anymore

You don't move like you used to
and though you'll never know how
She's my shaker now

La...

Well you know you make me nervous
but I wouldn't take a bullet for you
If life's a bed of roses what's the use
in all these lies you go through
There's nothing in the Bible says
you can't shake the shaker is there Angeline?
When you stumbled on the answer
did you make her vent the dust and the spleen?

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

La...

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

You don't move like you used to
You don't move like you used to
You don't move like you used to...

La...
