Composer(s): Margie Singleton
First release by: Titus Turner - 1961



Shake the hand of a fool
Oh live by every rule
Shake the hand of a man
Oh play it in the game of love and lost again

Shake the hand of a fool
The world's biggest fool
For beleiving you're every world
Now I have loneliness and a broken heart

As my (?) world
Oh what a fool
Yeah to believe all those lies you told to me
But  how was I to know
That you take my love and abuse my heart
And let me go

Well shake the hand of a fool
The world's biggest fool
For beleiving you're every world
Now I have loneliness and a broken heart

As my (?) world
Oh yeah!
I was so proud to call you mine
(?) that old time
You have broken every rule
Just waiting for the chance to play me for a fool

Well shake the hand of a fool
Well the world's biggest fool
For beleiving you're every world
Now I have loneliness and a broken heart

As my (?) world
Well shake the hand of a fool
Shake the hand of a fool
