[Verse 1]
And I rolled and I tumbled and I cried the whole night long
And I rolled and I tumbled and I cried the whole night long
And I rose this morning mama and I didn't know right from wrong
[Verse 2]
Did you ever wake up and find your dough‑roller gone?
Did you ever wake up and find your dough‑roller gone?
And you wrings your hands and you cry the whole day long
[Verse 3]
And I told my woman, Lord, 'fore I left her town
And I told my woman, just before I left her town
Don't she let nobody tear her barrelhouse down
[Verse 4]
And I fold my arms, Lord, and I walked away
And I fold my arms, and I slowly walked away
Says that's all right, sweet mama, your trouble going to come some day
