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

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
