   Yeah, oh yeah,  no!
   Cold ground  was my bed  last night
  And rock  was my pillow  too
   Cold ground  was my bed  last night
  And rock  was my pillow  too,  yeah
  I'm sayin talkin'  blues,  talkin'  blues
  They say your feet  is just too big  for your shoes
  Talkin'  blues,  talkin'  blues
  Your feet  is just too big  for your shoes
  I've  been down on  the rock  so long
  I  seem to wear  a permanent screw,  yeah
  I've  been down on  the rock  so long
  I  seem to wear a  permanent screw
  But  I'm gonna stare in  the sun
  Let  the rays shine  in  my eyes
  I'm  gonna take  a  just a one  step more
  Cause I feel  like bombing  a church,  now
  Now that you know  that the preacher  is lying
  So who's  gonna stay  at home
  When, when  the freedom fighters  are fighting
  Talkin' blues, talkin' blues
  They say your feet is just too big for your shoes, whoa
  Talkin' blues, keep on, talkin' blues
  They say, you hear what they say, didn't you hear?
  Cold ground was my bed last night
  Rock stone, rock stone, rock stone was my pillow
  Cold ground was my bed last night
  And rock was my pillow too
  Sayin talkin' blues, talkin' blues
  I seem to wear a permanent, permanent screw
  Talkin' blues, talkin' blues
  They say your feet is just too big for your shoes
