Lyric Get Yourself Together (1940)
I got rocks in my bed, and I can t sleep there no more, no more.
I got rocks in my bed, and I can t sleep there no more.
Old rockin chair s got me, and the blues is knockin on my door.
If you neva been in love, please don t try to find it out.
If you neva been in love, please don t try to find it out.
And if you feel your po little heart start slippin , then you better ask somebody what it s all about.
Ahh, greased n lightenin , greased n lightenin . [spoken words – probably Dan Dixon]
Cause it hurts to love someone, that you can t have all by yo self.
Ahh, tell me about it, Lonnie. [spoken words – probably Dan Dixon]
Hurts to love someone, that you can t have all by yo self.
And the part that really hurts you so bad - when you got to share them with somebody else.
Take it bass ... Oh, git it an git it good! [spoken words – Lonnie Johnson]
Now you told me that you love me baby, and you told me a lie.
But today you quit me - make up your mind or die.
So get yo self together, cause I ain t goin stand no more doggin around.
I know you got somebody else, cause the talk s all over town.
Now I m gettin awful tired, of sleepin by myself.
If you don t want my lovin , then I ll just dish it on out to somebody else.
I got to get myself together, cause I m tired of sleepin by myself.
And if you don t want my lovin , then I ll just shove it on out there to somebody else.
I got rocks in my bed, and I can t sleep there no more.
Old rockin chair s got me, and the blues is knockin on my door.
If you neva been in love, please don t try to find it out.
