Memphis Slim Empty Room Blues
(Peter Chatman a.k.a. Memphis Slim)
My room was empty, and my woman was gone
My room was empty, and my woman was gone
I didn't have a nickel, and all my clothes in pawn
I asked my next door neighbor, which-a-way did my baby
go?
Asked my next door neighbor, which-a-way did my baby go?
She says she left for the border, down in old Mexico
I found a note on the floor, it almost sent me off in a
trance
I found a note on the floor, it almost sent me off in a
trance
She said it's nothin' that you done, I'm just leavin' in
advance
Yes, yes, yes
It's so hard when a woman leave you, and she leave you on
a zoom
It's so hard when a woman leave you, and leave you on a
zoom
You come home feelin' very happy, and find only a empty
room
