Shakin' 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
Everybody with care and trouble that day
Tries to shake it away
Shakin' the blues away
Unhappy news 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
Listenin' to a voodoo melody
They shake their body so
To and fro
With every shake
A lucky break
Provin' that there's a way
To chase your cares away
If you would lose your weary blues
Shake 'em away, shake 'em away
Way down south
Everybody believes that trouble won't stay
If you shake it away
When they hold a revival
Way down south
Everybody with care and trouble that day
Tries to shake it away
Shakin' the blues away
Unhappy news 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
Listenin' to a voodoo melody
They shake their body so
To and fro
With every shake
A lucky break
Provin' that there's a way
To chase your cares away
If you would lose your weary blues
Shake 'em away, shake 'em away
