STONES IN MY PASSWAY

I got stones in my passway
        and my road seem dark as night
I got stones in my passway
        and my road seem dark as night
I have pains in my heart
        they have taken my appetite
I have a bird to whistle
        and I have a bird to sing
Have a bird to whistle
        and I have a bird to sing
I got a woman that I'm lovin'
        boy, but she don't mean a thing
My enemies have betrayed me
        have overtaken poor Bob at last
My enemies have betrayed me
        have overtaken poor Bob at last
An' 'ere's one thing certainly
        they have stones all in my pass
Now you tryin' to take my life
        and all my lovin', too
You laid a passway for me
        now what are you trying to do
I'm cryin' please

        plea-ease let us be friends
And when you bear me howlin' in my passway, rider
        plea-ease open your door and let me in
I got three legs to truck home
        boys, please don't block my road
I got three legs to truck home
        boys, please don't block my road
I've been feelin' ashamed 'bout my rider
        babe, I'm booked and I got to go


Noies: 1. The second "trying" is the only instance in Johnson's
lyrics
                where he uses   the uncontracted present participle.
