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 mournful 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
