Empty Bed Blues Lyrics by LaVern Baker

LaVern Baker Sings Bessie Smith

0

[Verse 1]
I woke up this morning with an awful achin' head
I woke up this morning with an awful achin' head
Well, my new man had left me just a room and an empty bed

[Verse 2]
Bought me a coffee grinder, hey, I got the best one that I could find
Oh, oh, I bought me a coffee grinder got me the best one I could find
So, he could grind my coffee 'cause he had a brand new grind

[Verse 3]
He's a deep, deep diver with a stroke that can't go wrong
I said, he's a deep, deep diver with a stroke that can't go wrong
Oh, oh, he can touch the bottom, and his wind holds out so long

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
He knows how to thrill me, mm and he thrills me night and day
I said, he knows how to thrill me, and he thrills me night and day
Well, well, he's got a brand new way of lovin', almost takes my breath away

[Verse 5]
He's got that sweet, sweet somethin', and I told my girlfriend, Lou
Oh, oh, he's got that sweet, sweet somethin', and I told my girlfriend, Lou
Well, from the way she's ravin', hah, she must have gone and tried it, too

[Verse 6]
I woke up this morning with an awful achin' head
Oh, oh, I woke up this morning with an awful, awful achin' head
Well, well, well, my new man had left me just a room and an empty bed

[Outro]
Oh, whoa, yeah
