Duke Ellington & His Orchestra - Rocks in My Bed lyrics

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
