Rocks and Gravel Lyrics


/bluesy acoustic lead in/
Well it's early in the morn'n, the morn'n
Well, when I rise, a well a
Well it's early in the morn'n, the morn'n
Well a, when I rise, a well
A well it's early in the morn'n, the morn'n
Well when I rise, baby
I got an aching, little mama
In my right side, a well
in my right side, baby
in my right side, sugar
I got an aching, miss mama
In my right side, a well
I ain't ever been to Georgia, Georgia

But I've been told, a well a
I ain't a never been to Georgia, Georgia
But I've been told, a well
I ain't ever been to Georgia, Georgia
But I've been told, a well a
Well a Georgie women, mama
Got a sweet jelly roll, a well
Well who sum ever told, did he told her
Told a dirty lie, a well a
Well a who sum ever told, did he told her
Told a dirty lie, a well
Well who sum ever told, did he told her
Told a dirty lie, a well a
He said the eagle on the dollar, baby
Gonna rise and fly, a well
He gonna rise and fly in the morn'n
He gonna rise and fly in the even'n
He said the eagle on the dollar, baby
Gonna rise and fly, a well
It takes a rocks and a gravel, to make a
To make a solid road, a well a
It takes a rocks and a gravel, to make a
Make a solid road, a well
It takes a rocks and a gravel, to make a
To make a solid road, a well a
It takes a good look'n woman, baby
To make a good look'n whore, a well
Well it's early in the morn'n, the morn'n
Well a, when I rise, a well a
Well it's early in the morn'n, the morn'n
Well a when I rise, a well
Well it's early in the morn'n, the morning
Well when I rise, a well
I got an aching near me, baby
In my right side, a well
In my right side, a sugar
In my right side, a baby
I got an aching near me, mama
In my right side, a well
Well who sum ever told, did he told her
He told a dirty lie, a well a
Well who sum ever told, did he told her
He told a dirty lie, a well
Well who sum ever told, did he told her
He told a dirty lie, a well a
He said the eagle on the dollar, baby
He gonna rise and fly, a well
[fading begins]
He gonna rise and fly in the morning
He gonna rise and fly in the evening
He said the eagle on the dollar, baby
Gonna rise and fly, a well...
[end]

Dave Van Ronk (June 30, 1936 – February 10, 2002) was a folk singer born in Brooklyn, New York, who settled in Greenwich Village, New York City, and was nicknamed the "Mayor of MacDougal Street." He was best known as a pioneer of the acoustic blues revival, but his work ranged from old English ballads to Bertolt Brecht, rock, New Orleans jazz, and swing. He was a pioneer of instrumental ragtime guitar, as well as an early supporter of Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, among many others. Van Ronk was very influential on the music scene in New York City in the 1960s.
