Empty Bed Blues

I woke up this morning with an awful aching head,
I woke up this morning with an awful aching head,
My new man had left me just a room and an
    empty bed.

Bought me a coffee grinder, got the best one I
    could find,
Bought me a coffee grinder, got the best one I
could find,
So he could grind me coffee, cause he had a brand
    new grind.

He's a deep-sea diver with a stroke that can't go
    wrong,
He's a deep-sea diver with a stroke that can't go
    wrong,
He can touch the bottom, and his wind holds out
    so long.

He knows how to thrill me, and he thrills me
    night and day,
He knows bow to thrill me, and be thrills me
    night and day,
He's got a new way of loving, almost takes my
breath away.

He's got that sweet something, and I told my gal-
    friend Lou,
He's got that sweet something, and I told my gal-
    friend Lou,
Cause the way she's raving, she must have gone
    and tried it too.

When my bed gets empty, makes me feel awful
    mean and blue,
When my bed gets empty, males me feel awful
mean and blue,
'Cause my springs getting rusty, sleepin' single the
    way I do.

Bought him a blanket, pillow for his head at night,
Bought him a blanket, pillow for his bead at night,
Then I bought him a mattress so he could lay just
    right.

He came home one evening with his fair head way
    up high,
He came home one evening with his fair bead way
    up high,
What he had to give me made me wring my hands
    and cry.

He give me a lesson that I never had before,
He give me a lesson that I never had before,
When he got through teaching me, from my el-
    bows down was sore.

He boiled my first cabbage, and he made it awful
    hot,
He boiled my first cabbage, and he made it awful
    hot,
Then he put in the bacon and it overflowed the
    pot.

When you get good lovin' never go and spread
    the news,
When you get good lovin' never go and spread
    the news,
They'll double-cross you and leave you with them
    empty bed blues.
