Woke up this
mornin'
with an awful
achin' head.
Woke up this
mornin'
with an awful
achin' head.
My new man
left me.
I'm 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,
tsch, tsch,
tsch, tsch, tsch, tsch, tsch, 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',
don't you,
don't you spread the news.
Don't you
spread the news.
When you get
it and it's 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!
