Roll and Tumble Blues

Roll and Tumble Blues-Hambone Willie Newbern
Spanish tuning, with a slide

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 mornin', mama, and I didn't know right from wrong

SOLO

Did you ever wake up and find your dough-roller gone?
Did you ever wake up and find your dough-roller gone?
And you wring your hands and you cry the whole day long

And I told my woman, Lord, 'fore I left the town
And I told my woman just before I left the town,
"Don't you let nobody tear the barrelhouse down."

SOLO

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 gonna come some day."
