Frosty Morning Blues

Frosty Morning Blues - Bessie Smith

How come I'm blue as can

Be how come I need sympathy

I know what's troubling me listen and you'll see

Because the good man that

I got left me all alone

Woke up this morning at four

When I heard him slamming my door

Did you ever wake up on a frosty

Morning and discover your good man gone

Did you ever wake up on a frosty

Morning and discover your good man gone

If you did you'll understand

Why I'm singing sad moanful songs

Well he didn't provide and

He wasn't handsome so he might not appeal to you

Well he didn't provide and

He wasn't handsome so he might not appeal to you

But he gave me plenty loving

And I never had to beg him too

Now my damper

Is down and my fire ain't burning

And a chill's all around my bed

My damper is down and my fire

Ain't burning and a chill's all around my bed

When you lose the man you love then

A gal is just as good as dead
