Rollin' and Tumblin' Lyrics


Well, I rolled and I tumbled
Cried the whole night long
Well, I rolled and I tumbled
Cried the whole night long
When I woke up this morning
Didn't know right from wrong
Well, I told my baby
'Fore I left this town
Well, I told my baby
'Fore I left this town
That don't let nobody
Tear my playhouse down
Well, if the river was whiskey
I was a diving duck
Well, if the river was whiskey
I was a diving duck
I would swim to the bottom
Never, never come up

Well, I could have had religion
This bad old thing instead
Well, I could have had religion
This bad old thing instead
But that whiskey and bad men
Would not let me pray
Well, I rolled and I tumbled
Cried the whole night long
Well, I rolled and I tumbled
Cried the whole night long
Well, when I woke up this morning
I didn't know right from wrong

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

R. L. Burnside (November 23, 1926 – September 1, 2005), born Robert Lee Burnside, was an American blues singer, songwriter, and guitarist who lived much of his life in and around Holly Springs, Mississippi. He played music for much of his life, but did not receive much attention until the early 1990s. In the latter half of the 1990s, Burnside repeatedly recorded with Jon Spencer, garnering crossover appeal and introducing his music to a new fanbase within the underground garage rock scene.
