Lyrics Rocks In My Bed - Eva Svobodová, Classic Jazz Collegium, Duke Ellington

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
