"Frosty Morning Blues" lyrics - CECILE MCLORIN SALVANT

[Intro:]
How come I'm blue as can be?
How come I need sympathy?
I know what troubling me
Listen and you'll see
Because the good man that I love
Left me all alone
Woke up this morning at 4
When I heard him slammin' my door

Did you ever wake up on a frosty morning
And discover your good man's gone?
Did you ever wake up on some frosty morning
And discover your good man gone?
If you did you'd understand
Why I'm singing sad, mournful song

[Bass solo]

Well, he didn't provide and he wasn't handsome
So he might not appeal to you
No, he does not provide and he isn't handsome
So he might not appeal to you
But he gave me plenty lovin'
And I never had to beg him to

[Clarinet Solo]

Now my damper is dry and my fire ain't burning
And a chill's all around my bed
Well, my damper is dry and my fire ain't burning
And a chill's all around my bed
When you lose the man you love
Then a gal's just as good as dead
