My heart is heavy as lead
Because the blues have 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
Oh how can I sleep
with rocks in my bed

That mean man of mine
He is gone and he won't come back
That mean man of mine
He is gone and he won't come back
That man is lower than a snake in a wagon trap

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
Rocks in my bed
Rocks in my bed
Rocks in my bed
