Cold ground was my bed last night, (bed last night).
And rock was my pillow, too, (too-oo-oo-oo-oo!).
Cold ground was my bed last night,
And rock was my pillow, too, yeah! I'm saying;
Chorus:
Talkin' blues, (talkin' blues), talkin' blues,
(talkin' blues).
They say your feet is just too big for your shoes,
(shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo).
Talkin' blues, (talkin' blues), talkin' blues,
(talkin' blues).
Your feet is just too big, for your shoes,
(shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo).
Yeah, I've been down on the rock for so long
(so long)
I seem to wear a permanent screw (screw-oo-oo-oo-oo)
I've been down on the rock for so long (so long)
I seem to wear a permanent screw (screw-oo-oo-oo-oo)
But-a I, I'm gonna stare in the sun,
Let the rays shine in my eyes.
I, I'm a gonna take, a-just-a one step more,
'Cos I feel like bombin' a church, now,
Now that you know that the preacher is lyin'.
So who's gonna stay at home,
When, when the freedom fighters are fighting?
Chorus:
Talking blues (talking blues)
Talking blues (talking blues)
They say your feet is just too big for your shoes
(shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo)
Talking blues (talking blues),
keep on talking blues (talking blues)
They say, you hear what they say
Didn't you hear
Chorus:
Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night)
And rock stone rock stone was my pillow
(doo-oo-oo-oo-oo!)
Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night)
And rock was my pillow, too, Yeah
I'm saying, Talking blues (talking blues)
Talking blues (talking blues)
I seem to wear a permanent screw
Talking blues (talking blues), talking blues
(talking blues)
Your feet is just too big for your shoes
(shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo)
