The wind blows through the valley
It's warm and hard and wild
It gets all up inside the trees
And shakes the leaves all night
They shake up through the mountains
They shake up to the sky
Shake up to the moon above
And then it starts to shine

Lord, it makes me tremble
Lord, it makes me tremble
Shakin' and shakin', shakes
Shakin' and shakin', shakes
Shakin' and shakin', shakes
Baby, shakin' and shakin', shakes

Well, a fault runs through the valley
As long as it is mean
It starts to tear into the earth
And gets all in between
It shakes up through the mountains
It shakes down to the sea
It shakes up to the volcano
And then it starts to scream

Lord, it makes me tremble
Lord, it makes me tremble
Shakin' and shakin', shakes
Shakin' and shakin', shakes
Shakin' and shakin', shakes
Shakin' and shakin', shakes

There's a woman in this valley
She's sweet as she is rough
And when she starts to dance that way
She shakes the boys all up
She shakes it through the mountain
She shakes it through the night
She shakes it like a hurricane
She gives a blind man sight

Lord, it makes him tremble
Lord, it makes them tremble
Shakin' and shakin', shakes
Shakin' and shakin', shakes
Shakin' and shakin', shakes
Baby, she's shakin' and shakin', shakes

Shakin' and shakin', shakes
Shakin' and shakin', shakes
Shakin' and shakin', shakes
Shakin' and shakin', shakes

Shakin' and shakin', shakes
Shakin' and shakin', shakes
Shakin' and shakin', shakes
Shakin' and shakin', shakes

Yeah, baby!
Shakin' and shakin', shakes!
