Get Yourself Together (1940) — текст песни (Lonnie Johnson)

I got rocks in my bed, and I can`t sleep there no more, no more.
I got rocks in my bed, and I can`t sleep there no more.
Old rockin` chair`s got me, and the blues is knockin` on my door.

If you neva` been in love, please don`t try to find it out.
If you neva` been in love, please don`t try to find it out.
And if you feel your po` little heart start slippin`, then you
better ask somebody what it`s all about.

Ahh, greased ‘n lightenin’, greased ‘n lightenin’. [spoken
words – probably Dan Dixon]

`Cause it hurts to love someone, that you can`t have all by yo`self.
Ahh, tell me about it, Lonnie. [spoken words – probably
Dan Dixon]
Hurts to love someone, that you can`t have all by yo`self.
And the part that really hurts you so bad - when you got to share
them with somebody else.

Take it bass ... Oh, git it an` git it good! [spoken words
– Lonnie Johnson]

Now you told me that you love me baby, and you told me a lie.
But today you quit me - make up your mind or die.
So get yo`self together, `cause I ain`t goin’ stand no more doggin` around.
I know you got somebody else, cause the talk ‘s all over town.

Now I’m gettin` awful tired, of sleepin` by myself.
If you don’t want my lovin`, then I’ll just dish it on out to
somebody else.
I got to get myself together, ‘cause I’m tired of sleepin` by myself.
And if you don’t want my lovin`, then I’ll just shove it on out
there to somebody else.
