Dirty Dishes Blues

Dirty Dishes Blues - Lonesome Pine Fiddlers

I come in this morning a quarter past eight

Expecting her nagging for gettin' home late

But she didn't scold me or tell me it's wrong

For I didn't see her my sweetheart was gone

Dirty dishes dirty dishes I'm losing my mind

My baby done left me and traveled behind

And now I'm so lonely and lonely I'll be

With no one to wash all my dishes for me

A note on the table and here's how it read

Now you've been cheatin' that's all that she said

I just stood there bawling the tears were in vain

For now I know she'll never believe me again

Dirty dishes dirty dishes I'm losing my mind

My baby done left me and traveled behind

And now I'm so lonely and lonely I'll be

With no one to wash all my dishes for me

Now I never cheated believe me it's true

Or broken a promise that I made to you

You'll never know just how happy I'll be

If you will come back and wash dishes for me

Dirty dishes dirty dishes I'm losing my mind

My baby done left me and traveled behind

And now I'm so lonely and lonely I'll be

With no one to wash all my dishes for me
