Mean Mama Blues

A
Well, when I come home this morning,

It was still too dark to see

I could tell my baby wasn't sleeping next to me,
                D
She's gone and left me

                            A
Where to I guess I'll never know

  E                                                     A
I only know her leave has brought pain and misery to my soul

A
Well, a note was on the pillow, she's gone without a doubt


I tried to read her writing, but I couldn't make it out

                   D                               A
'Cause tears were falling too fast for me to even read

 E                                       A
Nobody knows my sorrow, nobody knows my misery

 E
My friends told me she'd leave me but I said they wasn't right


She gave no word of warning, she'd be leaving in the night

          D                                     A
Can't understand her, what made my baby want to go?

  E                                                  A
I didn't hear her leaving, she didn't even close the door

 A
When she'd come home this morning, I'd jump and shout with flee


She can't mean more to someone else

                                        D
Than what she means to me, I love that woman

                           A
I got to have her all the time

   D                                                  A
I got to have her near me, to ease this misery on my mind
