Empty Bed Blues, Pt. 2 - Bessie Smith
When my bed get empty
Make me feel awful mean and blue
When my bed get empty
Make me feel awful mean and blue
My springs are getting rusty
Sleeping single like I do
Bought him a blanket
Pillow for his head at night
Bought him a blanket
Pillow for his head at night
Then I bought him a mattress
So he could lay just right
He came home one evening
With his spirit way up high
He came home one evening
With his spirit way up high
What he had to give me
Make me wring my hands and cry
He give me a lesson
That I never had before
He give me a lesson
That I never had before
When he got to teachin' me
From my elbow down was sore
He boiled my first cabbage
And he made it awful hot
He boiled my first cabbage
And he made it awful hot
When he put in the bacon
It overflowed the pot
When you git good lovin'
Never go and spread the news
Yes he'll double cross you
And leave you with them empty bed blues
