Woke up this morning
With an awful aching head
Woke up this morning
With an awful aching head
My new man left me
I'm just a bloom in an empty bed
Now, when my bed gets empty
Ya get to feeling kind of mean and blue
When my bed gets empty
Get to feeling awful mean and blue
The springs are getting rusty
Sleeping single like I do
I bought me a coffee grinder
The best one I could find
Well 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
Oh 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
The way that girl is raving
She must have had a piece of it too
And now when you get good loving
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 double cross you and leave you
Those gals will double cross you and leave
Those gals will double cross you
And leave you, leave you, leave you
Leave you with the empty bed blues
