(I'VE GOT) ROCKS IN MY BED
(Lonnie Johnson)

I've got rocks in my bed and I just can't lay down there no, no, no more
I've got rocks in my bed and I just can't lay down there no, no, no more
Old rocking chair's got me
And the blues is knocking on my door

If you've never been in love please don't try to find it out
If you've never been in love please don't try to find it out
And if you feel your poor little heart slippin'
Please ask somebody what it's all about

'Cause it hurts to love someone that you can't have all by yourself
It hurts to love someone that you can't have all by yourself
And the part that hurts so bad
When you got to share them with somebody else

Now you told me that you loved me baby, and you told me a lie
But the thing you quit me baby make up your mind or die

So git yourself together
'Cause I ain't gonna stand no more doggin' around
I know you got somebody else
'Cause the news is all round the town

Baby I'm gettin' awful tired of sleepin' by myself
If you don't want my lovin' I'll give it out to someone else
Got to git myself together, tired of sleepin' by myself
If you don't want my lovin', baby
I'll just shuffle on and give it to someone else

(I had transcribed this classic Lonnie Johnson blues for my own nefarious purposes, and as it wasn't in the DT thought I'd add it for the general good)
