Gene Vincent, real name Vincent Eugene Craddock, (February 11, 1935 â€“ October 12, 1971) was an American rockabillypioneer musician, best known for his hit Be-Bop-A-Lula. He performed with his backing band, the Blue Caps. After Be-Bop-A-Lula had become a huge hit (peaking at #7 and spending 20 weeks in the Billboard Pop Chart), Gene Vincent & the Blue Caps were unable to follow it up with the same level of commercial success, but released critically acclaimed songs like Race With The Devil(#96 in Billboard) and Bluejean Bop(#49). Following a visit to Europe in 1959, Vincent managed to attract a new huge and discerning audience there, especially in England and France. By that time his career had mostly ended in the US.

Rocky Road Blues Lyrics

Gene Vincent

Well ... the road is rocky but it wont be rocky long
Ah, this old road is rocky but it wont be rocky long
Well, another man got my baby and gone
Well, I got the blues, Im wearing the soles right outta my shoes
Aw, I got the blues, Im wearing the soles right outta my shoes
My baby ran away and left me with the doggone blues (ah, go home) (yeah)
Well, the road is rocky but it wont be rocky long, honey
This old road is rocky, wont be rocky long
Well, another man got my baby and gone
Aw, your gonna lap up this-a water til the old-old well runs dry, yeah
Your gonna lap up this-a water till the old-old well runs dry
Well, you never miss your baby till she says goodbye (woa)
Aw, this road is rocky but it wont be rocky long, honey
This old road is rocky but it wont be rocky long
Well, another man stole my baby and gone, lets go
Your gonna lap up all the water till the old-old well runs dry
Aw, your gonna lap up all this-a water till the old-old well runs dry (yeah)
You never miss your baby till she says goodbye
