(Robert Johnson/King of Spades Music)

I’ve stones in my pathway, my road seems dark as night. (2x)
And these pains in my heart: they have taken my appetite.

I have a bird to whistle. I have a bird to sing. (2x)
And a woman that I’m loving, boys, but that don’t mean a thing.

‘Cause my enemies have betrayed me, have over taken this boy at last. (2x)
And there’s one thing for certain: I have stones all in my path.

Now, you tried to take my life and all my loving, too.
You laid this pathway for me, now, what’re you trying to do?
I’m crying, “Please! Please! Let us be friends.”
And when you hear me hollering in my pathway, rider: Open your door and let me in.

I’ve got three lanes to truck on, boy, please don’t block my road. (2x)
I’m feeling shamed by my rider and I’m booked and I got to go.

I’ve stones in my pathway, rider, my road seems dark as night. (2x)
And these pains in my heart: they have taken my appetite.
