Shaking the Blues Away lyrics

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

Shaking 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 them away

Do like the voodoos do

Listening to a voodoo melody

They shake their bodies so, to and fro

With every shake, a lucky break

Proving that there's a way

To chase your cares away

If you would lose your weary blues

Shake 'em away

Shaking 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 them away

Do like the voodoos do

Listening to a voodoo melody

They shake their bodies so, to and fro

With every shake, a lucky break

Proving that there's a way

To chase your cares away

If you would lose your weary blues

Shake 'em away

Gotta chase those cares away

Just to prove that there's a way

A way to shake shake your blues away
