Yes I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long
Yes I rose this morning, didn't know right from wrong
Have you ever woke up, your dough-roller gone
Then you wring your hands, cry all day long
Yes, I told my woman, before I left the town
Don't you let nobody, tear your barrelhouse down
Yes, I fold my arms and slowly walked away
I said "That's allright mama, your troubles gon' come some day"
Yes I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long
Yes I woke up this morning, didn't know right from wrong
