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 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 voo-doos do, listening to A Voo-doo melody They shake their bodies so, to and fro With every shake, a lucky break proving that there's away To chase your cares away If you would lose your weary blues, shake 'em away
