Lyrics
[Verse 1] I woke up this mornin' with an awful achin' head I woke up this mornin' with an awful achin' head My new man had left me just a room and a empty bed [Verse 2] 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 my coffee, 'cause he had a brand new grind [Verse 3] 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 sense the bottom, and his wind holds out so long [Verse 4] 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 lovin',almost takes my breath away [Verse 5] Oh, he's got that sweet somethin', and I told my girlfriend, Lou He's got that sweet somethin' and I told my girlfriend, Lou But the way she's ravin', she must have gone and tried it, too [Interlude] [Verse 6] 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 sleepin' single like I do [Verse 7] Bought him a blanket, pillow for his head at night Bought him a blanket, pillow for his head at night And I bought him a mattress, so he could lay just right [Verse 8] He came home one evenin' with his spirit way up high He came home one evenin' with his spirit way up high What he had to give me made me wring my hands and cry [Verse 9] He give me a lesson that I never had before He give me a lesson that I never had before When he got through teachin' me, from my elbow down was sore [Verse 10] 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 overflowed the pot [Vese 11] When you get good lovin', never go and spread the news It will double-cross you and leave you with them empty bed blues
