Empty Room Blues

Memphis Slim

Compositor: Peter Chatman

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
