Lonnie Johnson Lyrics
"End It All (1961)"

Well I'm goin' down to the river, take along my little rockin' chair.
Well I'm goin' down to a river, take along my little rockin' chair.
If my baby don't come back soon, I'm gonna rock on 'way from here.

'Cause I've got rocks in my bed, my mind 's goin' around and 'round.
I've got rocks in my bed, and my mind is goin' round and 'round.
I might as wella end it all, and jump over board and drown.

'Cause my bed is so empty, don't know where my baby 's gone.
Yes, my bed is so empty, don't know where my baby 's gone.
And what 's killin' me day by day, I'm so tired of being alone.

Yes, I'm driftin' and driftin', just like a rollin' stone.
Yes, I'm driftin' and driftin', no place I can call my own.
Yes, and my woman 's in love with someone else, no one to call my own.
