Biography:
John Gale "Johnny" Horton (April 30, 1925 – November 5, 1960) was an American country music and rockabilly singer most famous for his semi-folk, so-called "saga songs" which began the "historical ballad" craze of the late 1950s and early 1960s. With them, he had several major successes, most notably in 1959 with the song "The Battle of New Orleans" (written by Jimmy Driftwood), which was awarded the 1960 Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording.

Empty Bed Blues --Johnny Horton -
C
Well when the sun rose this morning
I was feeling mighty bad
C7
My baby said good morning hell it made me mad
F C
Because I was evil evil hearted me
G7 C
Down right evil evil as a man can be
Well she even cooked my breakfast
And she brought to my bed
I took a sip of coffee
C7
And threw the cup at her head
F C
Because I was evil evil hearted me
G7 C
Yeah I'm down right evil evil as a man can be
I don't even care if my baby leaves me flat
C7
I got forty eleven others if it comes to that
F C
She knows I'm evil evil hearted me
G7 C
Down right evil evil as a man can be
My deep sea diver with a stroke
That can't go wrong
C7 F
Yeah I'm a deep sea diver with a
C
Stroke that can't go wrong
G7
I can scrape the bottom
C
And my wind holds out so long
I bought me a coffee grinder
The best one I could find
C7 F
Yeah I bought me coffee grinder
C
I got the best one I could find
G7
So she could grind my coffee
C
Cause she's got a brand new grind
I boiled her first cabbage
C7
And I made it oh so hot
F
I boiled her first cabbage
C
And I made it oh so hot
G7
And when I put in the bacon
C
Lord it overflowed the pot
So when you get good loving
Don't you go and spread the news
C7 F
When you get good loving baby
C
Don't go and spread the news
G7
Cause your man will leave you
C
With those empty bed blues
