Shake a Hand
(Joe Morris)

Just leave it to me
You don't have to be ashamed
If you take care of everything
I'll take care of everything

Your troubles I'll share
Let me know and I'll be there
I will take care of everything
Any place and anywhere

Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand if you can

Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand if you can
Oh!

Be truthful to me
I'll be truthful to you
'Cause I love you so
As hard as I can do

So, let's call it a day
I've said all that I can say
Except don't forget to pray
Every time and every way

Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand if you can

Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand if you can

Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand if you can
