Shaking the Blues Away

There's an old superstition way down south
Everybody believes that trouble won't stay
If you shake it away

When they hold a revival way down south
Ev'rybody with care and trouble that day
Tryin' to shake it away

Shaking the blues away, {away} unhappy news away, {away}
If you are blue it's easy to shake off
Your cares and troubles
Telling the blues to go, {to go} they may refuse to go, {to go}
But as a rule, they'll go if you'll shake them away, {shake 'em away!}

Do like the voodoos do, listen to
Voodoo melody
They shake their bodies so, to and fro
With ev'ry shake, a lucky break proving that there's a way, {a way}
To chase your cares away, {away}
If you would lose your weary blues, shake 'em away

Shaking the blues away, {away, away} unhappy news away, {away, away}
If you are blue it's easy to shake off
Your cares and troubles
Telling the blues to go, they may refuse to go
But as a rule, they'll go if you'll shake 'em away

Do like the voodoos do, listen to
Voodoo melody
They shake their bodies so, to and fro
With ev'ry shake, a lucky break {With ev'ry shake, a lucky break}
Proving that there's a way, {a way}
To chase your cares away, {away}
If you would lose your weary blues, shake 'em away
{Shake those blues away}
Gotta shake those cares away
A good shake, shake those blues away
{Stop your blues and there's a way}
A good shake, shake your blues away
