Rocks In My Bed, lyric by Ella Fitzgerald

from the songs album unknown

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
