Frosty Morning Blues Lyrics
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
