ROCKS AND GRAVEL
John Jackson

It takes rock and gravel to build a solid road
Takes rock and gravel to build a solid road
It takes high-priced whiskey- t' satisfy my soul.

Now tell me baby, where'd you stay last night?
Tell me baby, where'd you stay last night?
Come in this mornin', your clothes ain't fittin' you right.

(Where'd you stay baby?--)

Instrumental break # 1

Well, I love my baby, love her all night long
Yeah, I love my baby, love her all night long.
Love her when she's here, Lord, I love her when she's gone.

But I leave here running, I walked in here too slow
Yeah, I leave here running, walked in here too slow.
I'm leavin' you baby, never comin' back no more.

Instrumental break #2 (with stops)

It takes rocks and gravel to build a solid road
Rocks and gravel- to build a solid road.
It takes high-priced Whiskey, to satisfy my soul.

Rocks and Gravel

Bob Dylan picked this up and applied some different verses.
