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
