Rocks And Gravel

Rocks and gravel makes a solid road,
Rocks and gravel makes a solid road,
Takes a do right woman satisfy my soul.

Well I'm going out West just to see my pony run, (twice)
If I win any money I'm gonna send my gal some.

Here's a dollar Momma, made it in the rain, (twice)
It's a hard old dollar—made it just the same.

That's your tone Daddy, every time you come, (twice)
I ain't got no money but I'll soon have some.

A man in the army wants a furlough home, (twice)
He said, "About face rookie, you ain't been here long."

A man in the army' eatin' out of a trough, (twice)
Just waiting for Uncle Sam soon to pay him off.

I got a girl in the country and she won't come to town, (twice)
Got one in Louisiana and she's waterbound.

I can't see how can you treat your Daddy mean, (twice)
When you lays all night and your Daddy's on benzedrine.
