Johnny Horton
Empty Bed Blues
[Verse 1]
Well, when the sun rose this mornin' I was feelin' mighty bad
My baby said "Good mornin'," hell it made me mad
'Cause I was evil, evil hearted mean
Down right evil, evil as a man can be
[Verse 2]
Well, she even cooked my breakfast and she brought it to my bed
I took a sip of coffee and throwed the cup at her head
Because I was evil, evil hearted mean
Yeah, I'm down right evil, evil as a man can be
[Verse 3]
I don't even care if my baby lеave me flat
I got fourtylevеn others if it comes to that
You know I'm evil, evil hearted mean
Down right evil, evil as a man can be
[Verse 4]
I'm deep sea diver with a stroke that can't go wrong
Yeah, I'm a deep sea diver with a stroke that can't go wrong
I can scrape the bottom and my wind holes out, so long
[Verse 5]
I bought me a coffee grinder, got the best one that I could find
Yeah, I bought me a coffee grinder, got the best one that I could find
So she could grind my coffee 'cause she had a brand new grind
[Verse 6]
I boiled her first cabbage and I made it oh so hot
I boiled her first cabbage and I made it oh so hot
And when I put in the bacon it overflowed the pot
So when you get good lovin' don't you go and spread the news
Yeah, when you get good lovin', baby, don't go and spread the news
'Cause your man will leave with those empty bed blues
