Lyrics Frosty Morning Blues - Bessie Smith

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
