Empty Room Blues Lyrics

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
