Well ... the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long

Ah, this old road is rocky but it won't be rocky long

Well, another man got my baby and gone

Well, I got the blues, I'm wearing the soles right outta my shoes

Aw, I got the blues, I'm wearing the soles right outta my shoes

My baby ran away and left me with the doggone blues (Ah, go home) (yeah)

Well, the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long, honey

This old road is rocky, won't be rocky long

Well, another man got my baby and gone

Aw, your gonna lap up this-a water til the old-old well runs dry, yeah

Your gonna lap up this-a water till the old-old well runs dry

Well, you never miss your baby till she says goodbye (Woa)

Aw, this road is rocky but it won't be rocky long, honey

This old road is rocky but it won't be rocky long

Well, another man stole my baby and gone, Let's go

Your gonna lap up all the water till the old-old well runs dry

Aw, Your gonna lap up all this-a water till the old-old well runs dry

(yeah)

You never miss your baby till she says goodbye
