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!
