Memphis Slim Empty Room Blues lyrics

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
