I Ain't Got Nothin' But The Blues
Rocks In My Bed
Solitude
I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)
Mood Indigo

Lyrics
Ain't got the change of a nickel
Ain't got no bounce in my shoes
Ain't go no fancy to tickle
I ain't got nothing but the blues
Ain't got no coffee that's perking
Ain't got no winnings to lose
Ain't got a dream that is working
I ain't got nothing but the blues

I sit in my chair
And filled with despair
There's no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad

Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
Ain't got no feelings to bruise
Ain't got no telephone numbers
I ain't got nothing but rocks in my bed

I got rocks in my bed
I got rocks in my bed
Rocks in my bed
I got rocks in my bed

Under loved and over fed
My man's gone, so instead
I got rocks in my bed

My poor heart is sentimental not made of wood
I got it bad and that ain't good!
But when the weekend's over and Monday rolls aroun'
I end up like I start out just cryin' my heart out
Lord above me make him love me the way he should
I got it bad and that ain't good!

You ain't been blue; no, no, no.
You ain't been blue,
Till you've had that mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
