Well the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long Well the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long Well another man has got my baby & gone I got the blues, I'm a-wearin' the soles right out of my shoes I got the blues, I'm a-wearin' the soles right out of my shoes My baby ran away & left me with the doggone blues You're gonna lap up this water till the old old well runs dry You're gonna lap up this water till the old old well runs dry You never miss your baby till she says goodbye (instumental) (repeat all verses) (instrumental, fading out)
