naughty lyrics meme
Our lovely Bakerina started this meme. Post a song with suggestive lyrics. While they don't have to be food related, it's really cool if they are. Snowball is a blues fan, as am I, and the blues just lend themselves to this type of song, doncha think? I have hunted and searched and tracked Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers lyrics, to no avail. This blues tune covered by Bessie Smith will do just fine.
EMPTY BED BLUES (J.C. Johnson)I woke up this morning with a awful aching head
I woke up this morning with a awful aching head
My new man had left me, just a room and a empty bedBought me a coffee grinder that's the best one I could find
Bought me a coffee grinder that's the best one I could find
Oh he could grind my coffee, cause he had a brand new grindHe's a deep sea diver with a stroke that can't go wrong
He's a deep sea diver with a stroke that can't go wrong
He can stay at the bottom and his wind holds out so longHe knows how to thrill me and he thrills me night and day
Oh he knows how to thrill me, he thrills me night and day
He's got a new way of loving, almost takes my breath awayLord he's got that sweet somethin' and I told my girlfriend Lou
He's got that sweet somethin' and I told my girlfriend Lou
From the way she's raving, she must have gone and tried it too(Part 2:)
When my bed get empty make me feel awful mean and blue
When my bed get empty make me feel awful mean and blue
My springs are getting rusty, sleeping single like I doBought him a blanket, pillow for his head at night
Bought him a blanket, pillow for his head at night
Then I bought him a mattress so he could lay just rightHe came home one evening with his beret way up high
He came home one evening with his beret way up high
What he had to give me, make me wring my hands and cryHe give me a lesson that I never had before
He give me a lesson that I never had before
When he got to teachin' me, from my elbow down was soreHe poured my first cabbage and he made it awful hot
He poured my first cabbage and he made it awful hot
When he put in the bacon, it overflowed the potWhen you git good lovin', never go and spread the news
Yes he'll doublecross you, and leave you with them empty bed blues

I'm working on it, I'm working on it! In the meantime, I'm going to be cheesy and flaunt my own meme, but only so that those nice enough to play along can receive their proper due. Alicia at Twilight Cafe [Read More]

My ex-boyfriend, who I lived with, was a blues musician (well, and a software engineer). Anyway, they mostly played in bars, but they were occasionally hired to play a wedding - because they were really good to dance to. But it always seemed peculiar to have them singing "baby you done me wrong" kinda songs at a wedding. You know, "I was checkin' in while you were checkin' out" kinda stuff. Not right.
