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
