She's My Shaker

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, chase the devil ashore.
And though I said I wouldn't leave her, I couldn't stay anymore.

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.

And they went: La, la, la...
La, la, la...

Well, you know you make me nervous, but I would've 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 it, shaker, is there, Angeline?
And when you stumble on the answer to Jamaica then the dust in the splin

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.

And they went: La, la, la...
La, la, la...

And oh, 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,

Well they went: La, la, la...
La,la,la...
