Lyrics Rocks in My Bed - Ella Fitzgerald, Ben Webster, Stuff Smith

Rocks in My Bed

My heart is heavy as lead
Because the blues has done spread
Rocks in my bed
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
(bridge)
I got rocks in my bed
I got rocks in my bed
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
