His letter came this morning COD
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 APB
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

[ guitar ]
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
