(Intro) [Slow, heavy walking bass violin solo] [Deep, resonant plucking] (Verse 1) [Sultry, low-octave female vocals] I woke up this morning with a bad case of the empty bed blues, My head was aching and my heart was feeling low. I woke up this morning with a bad case of the empty bed blues, My head was aching and my heart was feeling low. What I'm looking for is a man who can help me lose these blues, And I've got to find him everywhere I go. (Verse 2) [Bass violin continues, adding a dark, bowed drone] He's a deep-sea diver, with a long time to stay down, He's a deep-sea diver, with a long time to stay down. He can touch the bottom, and he never breaks the sound. He knows how to thrill me, and he thrills me through and through, He’s the only man can make me feel like I’m brand new. (Instrumental Break) [Melancholy bass violin solo - sliding notes] (Verse 3) He boiled my cabbage, and he made it nice and soft, He boiled my cabbage, and he made it nice and soft. Then he turned the gas off and he let it all cool off. I'm going to the mountain, to the highest peak I can find, To see if I can't leave that man and those empty bed blues behind. (Outro) [Vocal hum in a low, somber tone] [Final deep bass pluck] [Fade to silence]
