Rocks is my pillow
Cold ground my bed
Blue sky's my blanket
Moonlight my spread
I'm not ashamed
Ain't that news
I've been living with the blues
If you ever been down
You know how I feel
Feel like an engine
Ain't got no driving wheel
I'm not ashamed
Ain't that news
I've been living with the blues
()
Rocks have been my pillow
Cold ground has been my bed
Blue sky's been my blanket
And the moonlight's been my spread
(Oh yes!)
You think I'm happy
You don't know my mind
Smile on my face
My heart's bleeding all the time
I'm not ashamed
Ain't that news
I've been living with the blues

Cos, rocks have been my pillow
Cold ground has even been my bed
Blue skies have been my blanket
And the moonlight's been my spread
(Oh yes!)
Don't believe I'm sinking
Look what a hole I'm in
Don't believe I love you
Look what a fool I've been
I'm not ashamed
Ain't that news
I've been living with the blues

Rocks have been my pillow
Cold ground has been old Brownie's bed
Blue skies have been my blanket
And the moonlight's been my spread
(Oh yes!)
I work all Summer
Sleep all the Fall
Have to take my Christmas
In my old overall
But I'm not ashamed
Ain't that news
I've been living with the blues
I'm not ashamed (oh no)
Ain't that news
I've been living with the blues
Mama had 'em
My daddy had 'em too
I've been living with the blues

Rocks have been my pillow
Cold ground has been old Brownie's bed
Blue skies have been my blanket
I've used the moonlight for my spread
(Oh yes!)
You think I'm happy
You don't know my mind
Smile on my face
But my heart's bleeding all the time
I'm not ashamed
Ain't that news
I've been living with the blues
I'm not ashamed
(Oh no friends)
Ain't that a lotta news
I've been living with the blues
I'm not ashamed
(Deep down in my heart)
Ain't that news
I've been living with the blues
