[Verse 1]
Well, I got stones in my passway
And my road, it's black as night
Yeah, I got stones in my passway
And my road is black as night
I got some pains in my hearts
And they steal my appetite

[Verse 2]
Well, I got a bird to whistle
I got a bird to sing
Yes, I got a bird to whistle
I got a bird to sing
I got a woman that I'm lovin'
But she don't mean a thing

[Verse 3]
They tried to take my life, all my money, too
I said to you, babe, what you tryin' to do?
I said, please, hey, let us be friends
You hear me howlin' in your passway
Baby, please, let me in

[Verse 4]
Well, I got three legs to walk on
Baby, please, don't block my road
Yes, I got three legs to walk on
Baby, please, don't block my road
All of my friends have betrayed me
And I'm booked and I've got to go
