Empty Bed Blues
By Johnny Horton
 
C
Well when the sun rose this morning
 
I was feeling mighty bad
                                 C7
My baby said goodmoring  hell it made me mad
              F                  C
Because I was evil  evil hearted me
           G7                      C
Down right evil  evil as a man can be
 
 
Well she even cooked my breakfast
 
And she brought to my bed
 
I took a sip of coffee 
              C7
And threw the cup at her head
              F                  C
Because I was evil  evil hearted me
                    G7                      C
Yeah I'm down right evil  evil as a man can be
 
 
I don't even care if my baby leaves me flat
                                C7
I got forty eleven others if it comes to that
              F                  C
She knows I'm evil  evil hearted me
           G7                      C
Down right evil  evil as a man can be
 
 
My deep sea diver with a stroke 
 
That can't go wrong
C7         F
Yeah I'm a deep sea diver with a 
                     C
Stroke that can't go wrong
      G7
I can scrape the bottom
                         C
And my wind holds out so long
 
 
I bought me a coffee grinder
 
The best one I could find
C7     F
Yeah I bought me coffee grinder
                           C
I got the best one I could find
       G7
So she could grind my coffee 
                            C
Cause she's got a brand new grind
   
 
I boiled her first cabbage
                        C7
And I made it oh so hot
  F
I boiled her first cabbage
                    C
And I made it oh so hot
           G7
And when I put in the bacon
                       C
Lord it overflowed the pot

 
So when you get good loving
 
Don't you go and spread the news
C7       F
When you get good loving baby
                        C
Don't go and spread the news
           G7
Cause your man will leave you
                     C
With those empty bed blues
