SHAKIN' THE BLUES
(George Jones)
 

Well, you upset my thinking
When your pretty eyes a blinking at me
People think I'm crazy
'Cause I'm picking every daisy I see
 

Well, my heart begins to quiver
When I'm parked down by the river with you
I know I'm not mistaking
This time I'm really shaking the blues
 

You got me picking in the middle of a big bass fiddle
And I holler at the top of my lungs
Bells start to ringing, then I start to singing
Songs that ain't never been sung
 

It's just my way of showing
That my love is ever growing for you
Don't you think I'm faking
This time I'm really shaking the blues
 

Now, if we ever marry
Boy, I bet you'd have to carry me home
I'd be to weak for walking
On account of the beat you're talking so long
 

I know I'm from the country
And I'm acting like a monkey in a zoo
Oh, don't you think I'm thinking
This time I'm only shaking the blues
 

You got me picking in the middle of a big bass fiddle
And I holler at the top of my lungs
Bells start to ringing, then I start to singing
Songs that ain't never been sung
 

It's just my way of showing
That my love is ever growing for you
Don't you think I'm faking
This time I'm really shaking the blues
 

I said, don't you think I'm faking
This time I'm really shaking the blues
I said, don't you think I'm faking
This time I'm really shaking the blues
