Lirik Empty Bed Blues
Empty Bed Blues - Bessie Smith
I woke up this morning with a awful aching head
I woke up this morning with a awful aching head
My new man had left me
Just a room and a empty bed
Bought me a coffee grinder
That's the best one I could find
Bought me a coffee grinder
That's the best one I could find
Oh he could grind my coffee
Cause he had a brand new grind
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 stay at the bottom
And his wind holds out so long
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 loving
Almost takes my breath away
Lord he's got that sweet somethin'
And I told my girlfriend Lou
He's got that sweet somethin'
And I told my girlfriend Lou
From the way she's raving
She must have gone and tried it too
(Part 2:)
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
Sleeping single like I do
Bought him a blanket
Pillow for his head at night
Bought him a blanket
Pillow for his head at night
Then I bought him a mattress
So he could lay just right
He came home one evening
With his beret way up high
He came home one evening
With his beret way up high
What he had to give me
Make me wring my hands and cry
He give me a lesson that I never had before
He give me a lesson that I never had before
When he got to teachin' me
From my elbow down was sore
He poured my first cabbage
And he made it awful hot
He poured my first cabbage
And he made it awful hot
When he put in the bacon
It overflowed the pot
