Well when the sun rose this morning

I was feeling mighty bad

                     C7
My baby said good morning  hell it made me mad

         F            C
Because I was evil  evil hearted me

     G7                  C
Down right evil  evil as a man can be

Well she even cooked my breakfast And she brought to my bed I took a sip of coffee

         C7
And threw the cup at her head

        F            C
Because I was evil  evil hearted me

           G7                 C
Yeah I'm down right evil  evil as a man can be

I don't even care if my baby leaves me flat

                     C7

        F            C
She knows I'm evil  evil hearted me

      G7                C
Down right evil  evil as a man can be

My deep sea diver with a stroke That can't go wrong

                     C
Stroke that can't go wrong

      G7
I can scrape the bottom

                         C 
And my wind holds out so long

I bought me a coffee grinder The best one I could find

C7    F

    G7
So she could grind my coffee 

                  C
Cause she's got a brand new grind

I boiled her first cabbage

               C7
And I made it oh so hot

  F
I boiled her first cabbage

             C
And I made it oh so hot

     G7
And when I put in the bacon

              C
Lord it overflowed the pot

So when you get good loving Don't you go and spread the news

C7   F
When you get good loving baby

               C
Don't go and spread the news

      G7
Cause your man will leave you

            C
With those empty bed blues
