How come I'm blue as can be, how come I need sympathy
I know what's troubling me, listen and you'll see
Because the good man that I got, left me all alone
Woke up this morning at four, when I heard him slamming my door
Did you ever wake up on a frosty morning and discover your good man gone
Did you ever wake up on a frosty morning and discover your good man gone
If you did you'll understand, why I'm singing sad moanful songs
Well, he didn't provide and he wasn't handsome, so he might not appeal to you
Well, he didn't provide and he wasn't handsome, so he might not appeal to you
But he gave me plenty loving and I never had to beg him too
Now my damper
is down and my fire ain't burning and a chill's all around my bed
My damper is down and my fire ain't burning and a chill's all around my bed
When you lose the man you love, then a gal is just as good as dead
