[BAYOU]
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?

[HATTIE MAE]
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
So how can I sleep
With rocks in my bed?
My baby's gone and he won't come back
My baby's gone and he won't come back
That man is lower than a snake in a wagon track
