Duke Ellington - Rocks in my bed

Tekst :

My heart is heavy as lead
Because the blues has done 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

There s only two kinds of people
I can t understand
There s only two kinds of people
I can t understand
That s a deceitful woman
And a hard faced man

She took my man away
And ain t goin bring him back
She took my man away
And ain t goin bring him back
She s lower than a snake down in a wagon track

(bridge)

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

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

Inne utwory

  • I let a song go out of my heart
  • Lost in meditation
  • My little brown book
  • Bli-blip
  • In a sentimental mood
  • Everything but you
  • In a mellow tone
  • All too soon
  • Drop me off in harlem
  • Love you Madly
  • Satin doll
  • Prelude to a kiss
  • Sophisticated lady
  • Solitude
  • Losowe utwory

    Japanese girls

    Japanese girls living in a land so far and lovely
    Japanese girls they have set my soul on fire
    Japanese girls they re always in my mind
    And carry on, carry on, carry on

    Chorus:
    Japanese girls make me wonder
    You are my Japanese girl, I need you so
    Japanese girls make me feel good
    You are my...

    What Katie did

    Oh what you re gonna do Katie?
    you re a swet sweet girl
    its a cruel cruel world
    and my pins are none too strong Katie
    hurry up Ms Brown
    I can feel it coming down
    I wont take none too long
    And they said you said goodbye
    there’s polka...

    Chemical warfare

    Tragic minds are terrified
    Life as if a grave
    Silent death marks high and full
    The wings of revelation

    Haunting death from chemicals
    Errant is as one
    Annihilation must be swift
    The soil with our destruction

    Counts on the throne...

    Dolores

    Sans doute je ne serais pas qui je suis
    Je ne serais pas où j en suis
    Si je n avais jamais connu Dolorès

    Sans doute je n aurais jamais réussi
    Je n habiterais pas Passy
    Si je n avais jamais connu Dolorès

    Brighter days

    I was just hanging around
    Thinking bout nothing at all
    Trying so hard to forget
    That even brighter days are so sad since you left..

    There are enought people to see
    Look, everyone s staring at me
    But nothing can make me forget
    That even brighter days are...
