My room was empty

And my woman was gone

My room was empty

And my woman was gone

I didn't have a nickel

And all my clothes in pawn

I asked my next door neighbor

Which-a-way did my baby go

Asked my next door neighbor

Which-a-way did my baby go

She says she left for the border

Down in old Mexico

I found a note on the floor

It almost sent me off in a trance

I found a note on the floor

It almost sent me off in a trance

She said it's nothin' that you done

I'm just leavin ＇ in advance

Yes yes yes

It's so hard when a woman leave you

And she leave you on a zoom

It's so hard when a woman leave you

And leave you on a zoom

You come home feelin' very happy

And find only a empty room
