Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][G][C][F][G]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
Woke up this [C]mornin'
With an awful [G]achin' head.
[C]Woke up this mornin'
With an [F]aw [G]ful achin' head.
My [D]new man left me.
[C]I'm just [G]a bloom in
an empty [D]bed.

[Verse 2]
Now, when my [G]bed gets empty
[C]I get to feelin' kind
of mean [G]and blue.
[C]When my bed gets empty,
Get to feel[F]in' awful [G]mean and blue.
The [D]springs are gettin' [G]rusty
Sleepin' [C]single like [G]I d[D]o.

[Verse 3]
I [G]bought me a coffee grinder,
[C]The best one[G] I could find.
[C]You know that I bought me a
brand new coffee grinder[G],
The best one I could find,
So [D]he could grind my coffee.
[C]Babe, I got a brand new grind.
[G]You gotta try, girl, you gotta try[D].

[Verse 4]
He was a [G]deep sea [C]diver
With a stroke that could
[G]not go [C]wrong.
Deep, deep sea, deep sea diver
With [G]a stroke that just could not go wrong.
He could [D]touch the bottom,
[C]And his wind held out
[G]so [C]long.[A][D]

[Verse 5]
[G]Oh, he boiled my cabbage,
[C]And he made it awful hot[G],
[A]mmm[C]m.[G][C]
He boiled it, I got to tell you
[F]That he [G]made it,[D] made it awful hot.
But when [D]he slipped the bacon in,
[C]He overflowed the[G] pot!

[Verse 6]
[C]Yeah, yeah, yeah, [D]yeah,
yeah, yeah, [G]yeah.
What a sweet man [C]he was.
I went and told my girlfriend [G]Lou.
Remember that old rag
of a girl named [C]Lou?
Real sweet man.
I went and told my girlfriend [G]Lou.
[D]That way that girl is, bab[C]y,
She must have had [G]a piece of it, t[D]oo.

[Verse 7]
And now when you [G]get [C]good [G]lov[C]in',
Don't you,
don't you spread [G]the news.
Don't you spread [C]the news.
When you get it and it's good,
good, good,
You really ought [G]not to,
You ought not to spread the news.
Because those [D]gals will doublecross you and [C]leave you,
Those [D]gals will doublecross you,
and they [C]do,
Those [D]gals will doublecross you
And [C]leave you, [D]leave you, [G]leave you,
[C]Leave you with the [D]empty bed [G]blues!
Zah!
