R.L. BurnsideCedric BurnsideAbout
This is RL’s version of the Muddy Waters classic. He modifies the melody to that single-chord groove and presents his own lyrics, redefining what “rollin' and tumblin'” means.
Also, look closely at the drummer in the video, it RL’s grandson, Cedric.
Rollin’ and Tumblin’ Lyrics
Virginia, blow the whistle, cause "my man, he rang the bell"
Virginia, blow the whistle, cause "my man, he rang the bell"
When I got done with my time, I done by baby well
Oh my baby, before I lay off that dowd
Oh my baby, before I lay off that dowd
Ain't nobody gonna complain out loud
Can't even be a man, I beat right through the wall
Can't even be a man, I beat right through the wall
All I could hear was my baby call
If you was whiskey and I was a diamond cup
If you was whiskey and I was a diamond cup
Down to the bottom, never would I come up
