Oh, oh I’m sinking down
Oh, oh, oh I’m sinkin down
Into the river rock bottom
I’d only heard about the blues
Till I got em boys

Where does the time go
Where, where does the time go
Into the river rock bottom
Well I got em now, this I know

I went back home and walked up in the door
And my baby said, ‘Pokey, you just ain’t the same no more’
She said, ‘ohhhhh, you better stop sinking down
Into the river rock bottom
She said, ‘ I got what you need boy, if you got em’

Oh I got em now

Wait a minute baby, you know I’ve done,
you know I’ve done tried it all
She said, ‘you’ve tried everything but giving me a call’
She said, ‘ohhhh, you better stop,
You better stop sinking down
Into the river rock bottom
She said, ‘I’ve got what you need boy, if you’ve got em’
