Verse 1 I woke up this morning with awful aching head (Repeat) 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 (Repeat) So he could grind my coffee Cause he had a brand new grind Verse 2 He’s a deep-sea diver, With a stroke that can’t go wrong (Repeat) 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 Oh… (Repeat) He’s got a new way of loving, Almost takes my breath away Verse 3 Oh, he’s got that sweet something And I told my girlfriend Lou (Repeat) But the way she’s ravin’ She must have gone and tried it too When my bed get empty Make me feel awful mean and blue (Repeat) My springs are getting’ rusty Sleepin’ single like I do Verse 4 Bought him a blanket Pillow for his head at night (Repeat) And I bought him a mattress So he could lay just right He came home one evening With his spirit way up high (Repeat) What he had to give me Made me ring my hands and cry Verse 5 He give me a lesson That I never had before (Repeat) When he got through teachin’ me From my elbow down was sore He boiled my first cabbage And he made it awful hot (Repeat) When he put in the bacon It overflowed the pot Verse 6 When you get good lovin’ Never go and spread the news It’ll build up to cross you And leave you with them empty bed blues Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
