His letter came this morning

C.o.d.

Says he's found somebody

Who reminds him of me

He says he needs some space

That might be the case

Wasn't even man enough

To tell me to my face

I got the rompin', stompin'

Bad news blues



He stole my money

He stole my time

When he stole my heart

Honey, he really crossed that line

A major felony

Send out an a.p.b.

Go tell that thief of hearts

To bring it on back to me

I got the rompin', stompin'

Bad news blues



Well, come tonight

I'm steppin' out

Gonna sing and dance

Gonna shake and shout

Forget about ol' what's his name

You know two can play this game

Whatever it takes to lose

These rompin', stompin'

Bad news blues



Well, men are full of trouble

Girl, that ain't nothin' new

We ain't found nothin' better

And until the day we do

Sister friend, be wise

Just realize

Stay away from the ones

Who'll do you wrong and tell you lies

They'll give you the rompin', stompin'

Bad news blues



That's right

They'll give you the rompin', stompin'

Bad news blues
