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
