Duke Ellington — Rocks in My Bed

[Verse] My heart is heavy as lead Because the blues have spread Rocks in my bed Of all the people I see Why did 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 [Bridge] That mean man of mine He's gone and he won't come back That mean man of mine He's gone and he won't come back That man is lower than a snake in a wagon track [Outro] I got rocks in my bed Rocks in my bed Rocks in my bed Rocks in my bed Under-loved, over-fed My man's gone, so instead I got rocks in my bed
