My heart is heavy as lead
Because the blues has done spread
Of all the people I see
Why do they pick on poor me
And put rocks in my bed?
All night long I weep
So how can I sleep
With rocks in my bed?
There's only two kinds of people
I can't understand
There's only two kinds of people
I can't understand
That's a deceitful woman
And a hard faced man
She took my man away
And ain't goin' bring him back
She took my man away
And ain't goin' bring him back
She's lower than a snake down in a wagon track
I got rocks in my bed
I got rocks in my bed
I got rocks in my bed
Under-loved, over-fed
My man's gone, so instead
I got rocks in my bed
Under-loved, over-fed
My man's gone, so instead
I got rocks in my bed
