Empty Room Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
