Empty Bed Blues

I woke up this morning with a awful aching head
 I woke up this morning with a awful aching head
 My new man had left me, just a room and a empty bed
 Bought me a coffee grinder that's the best one I could find
 Bought me a coffee grinder that's the best one I could find
 Oh, he could grind my 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 stay at the bottom and his wind holds out so long
 He knows how to thrill me and he thrills me night and day
 Oh, he knows how to thrill me, he thrills me night and day
 He's got a new way of loving, almost takes my breath away
 Lord, he's got that sweet somethin' and I told my girlfriend Lou
 He's got that sweet somethin' and I told my girlfriend Lou
 From the way she's raving, she must have gone and tried it too
 When my bed get empty make me feel awful mean and blue
 When my bed get empty make me feel awful mean and blue
 My springs are getting rusty, sleeping single like I do
 Bought him a blanket, pillow for his head at night
 Bought him a blanket, pillow for his head at night
 Then I bought him a mattress so he could lay just right
 He came home one evening with his spirit way up high
 He came home one evening with his spirit way up high
 What he had to give me, make 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 to teachin' me, from my elbow 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
 When he put in the bacon, it overflowed the pot
 When you git good lovin', never go and spread the news
 Yes, he'll double-cross you, and leave you with them empty bed blues
