|
| Woke up this mornin
|
| With an awful achin head.
|
| My new man left me.
|
| Im just a bloom in an empty bed.
|
| Now, when my bed gets empty
|
| I get to feelin kind of mean and blue.
|
| When my bed gets empty,
|
| Get to feelin awful mean and blue.
|
| The springs are gettin rusty
|
| Sleepin single like I do.
|
| I bought me a coffee grinder,
|
| The best one I could find.
|
| You know that I bought me a brand new coffee grinder,
|
| The best one I could find,
|
| So he could grind my coffee.
|
| Babe, I got a brand new grind.
|
| You gotta try, girl, you gotta try.
|
| He was a deep sea diver
|
| With a stroke that could not go wrong.
|
| Deep, deep sea, deep sea diver
|
| With a stroke that just could not go wrong.
|
| He could touch the bottom,
|
| And his wind held out so long.
|
| Oh, he boiled my cabbage,
|
| And he made it awful hot, mmmm.
|
| He boiled it, I got to tell you
|
| That he made it, made it awful hot.
|
| But when he slipped the bacon in,
|
| He overflowed the pot!
|
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
| What a sweet man he was.
|
| I went and told my girlfriend lou.
|
| Remember that old rag of a girl named lou?
|
| Real sweet man.
|
| I went and told my girlfriend lou.
|
| That way that girl is, baby,
|
| She must have had a piece of it, too.
|
| And now when you get good lovin,
|
| Dont you, dont you spread the news.
|
| Dont you spread the news.
|
| When you get it and its good, good, good,
|
| You really ought not to,
|
| You ought not to spread the news.
|
| Because those gals will doublecross you and leave you,
|
| Those gals will doublecross you, and they do,
|
| Those gals will doublecross you
|
| And leave you, leave you, leave you,
|
| Leave you with the empty bed blues!
|
| Zah! |
