Big Maybelle - Maybelle's Blues lyrics

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

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

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

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
