Empty Bed Blues (Part 1) - 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
