Mean Mama Blues

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 She's gone and left me Where to I guess I'll never know I only know her leave has brought pain and misery to my soul 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 Cause tears were falling too fast for me to even read Nobody knows my sorrow, nobody knows my misery 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 Can't understand her, what made my baby want to go? I didn't hear her leaving, she didn't even close the door When she'd come home this morning, I'd jump and shout with flee She can't mean more to someone else Than what she means to me, I love that woman I got to have her all the time I got to have her near me, to ease this misery on my mind
