Marty Robbins — Mean Mama Blues

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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
