Maybelle’s Blues

[Verse 1]
My baby, he up and left me, well 'round about midnight
Yes my baby he up and left me, well 'round about midnight
I was torn, as I wept the pillow, didn't sleep a wink that night

[Verse 2]
Cryin' ho, ho ho ho, cryin', so much misery
Lord have mercy, I've so much misery
Well won't somebody ease my aching heart, to all that you can't meet

[Verse 3]
Yes, he's cream in my coffee, well water while I'm dry
Well he was cream, cream in my coffee, well he was water when I was dry
Well he was like breath to my body, without him I'll lay down and die

[Verse 4]
Well but ain't you been so so sorry, your woman ain't got great big leg like mine, great great big like mine
Hey, sorry sorry, your woman ain't got great big leg like mine
Great big pretty brown legs like mine
Well shame on you, shame on you, shame on you
She ain't got great big legs like mine, hey I've got great big legs
