Well I'm goin' down to the river, take along my little rockin' chair
Well I'm goin' down to a river, take along my little rockin' chair
If my baby don't come back soon, I'm gonna rock on 'way from here
'Cause I've got rocks in my bed, my mind 's goin' around and 'round
I've got rocks in my bed, and my mind is goin' round and 'round
I might as wella end it all, and jump over board and drown
'Cause my bed is so empty, don't know where my baby 's gone
Yes, my bed is so empty, don't know where my baby 's gone
And what 's k**in' me day by day, I'm so tired of being alone
Yes, I'm driftin' and driftin', just like a rollin' stone
Yes, I'm driftin' and driftin', no place I can call my own
Yes, and my woman 's in love with someone else, no one to call my own
