Rocks in My Bed by Duke Ellington Lyrics

[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
