Well I roll and tumble
Brother all night long
Well I woke up this morning
All my thrill was gone
Well I know my baby
She got a red dress on, yeah babe
Well I know my baby
She got a red dress on
When the sun goes up now
I tumble walking out
Well when I blow that whistle
She comes running down
Well when I blow that whistle
She comes running down
Oh I can hear them talking
With my baby there

Woah Lord I wish
Lord I wonder what happens
Answer’s the nickel
A deep blue sea
I tore all good looking women somewhere
Sure enough baby that’s me
‘Cause it’s gonna happen
Lord my mother
Well so as my father
About three months long before I was born
Said I got a boy child coming
Sure enough it gonna be a rolling stone
Lord I’m gonna get a rolling stone man
Lord I’m broke

Now I reckon I better do
Lord if I clean up little girls
Then I go home with you
Yeah man I’m gonna walk
Woah Lord it’s true
Two things running
Lord I believe you’re the worst child in my way
We’re gonna watch them run at midnight
But the one that’s running just gonna lie dead
Lord she’s lone yeah and she’s tall
Lord she weeps like a banshee
Lord the folks they say she’s no good
But she’s all right with me
‘Cause I’ll be right there
Woah, ho, ho
Someday help me, help me, I always lose
Lord see if the girl don’t love the man you know
That’s when I do the voodoos
Ah, don’t make you hurt honey

I feel that bad luck and trouble
Is all that joy brings
Seems like bad luck and trouble
Is all that joy brings
With my bad luck with me
Lord my troubles begin
Remember this old highway
Ever since I was a child
Nobody seen a woman
Nobody seen a kid
Bad luck and trouble
Man is all that joy brings
With my bad luck with me
Then my troubles just begin
Lord I’m sitting down here thinking
Man I’m a long, long way from home
Just sitting down here thinking
Man I’m a long, long way from home
Think about all my good times
Lord and the friends I once have known
Ain’t never hurt nobody
Never done nobody wrong
Lotta people won’t accept me they say
I’m sitting down here thinking
Man I’m a long, long way from home
Think about all my good times
Man and the friends I once have known
Man it ain’t anybody else’s troubles
I ain’t gonna tell nobody else
Nobody else’s troubles
Man I ain’t gonna tell nobody else
The lone life I’m living baby
Gonna make it by myself

You gotta help me darling
I can’t make it all by myself
You gotta help me baby
I can’t do it all by myself
If you don’t help me little girl

You might have to curse, you have to swear
You might have to disturb
You might have to rock and roll
But you gotta help me darling
I can’t make it all by myself
If you don’t help me little girl
I gotta use somebody else
You might have to curse, you have to swear
You might have to disturb
You might have to rock and roll
But you gotta help me darling

But I feel like lying down

Lord my mother she done told me
And my father done told me

And my father done told me too
It’s a mean old town
To live in by yourself
Yeah work for a dollar or several thousand
Could not save a dime
You know I worked for a dollar,
Or several thousand
Man couldn’t save a dime
Ain’t nobody worried and there isn’t nobody crying
Yeah I got my hands outside to get a hold on
Try to get some of my cash
Lord I try to get my hands outside to get a hold on
Try to get some of my cash
It’s those great big smiles to keep us out of that trash
So I packed up my suitcase
And I move on town
Hit that lonesome road
You know I packed up my suitcase
And I hit that lonesome road
Move on town
I’m still crying to make it
When the day was done

Feel like a broke engine mama
Lord my driving wheel
Feel like a broke engine mama
Lord my driving wheel
Got me all tied up and lonesome
You know exactly how it makes a good man feel
I’ve been shooting craps and gambling
Mama I believe I done got broke
Been shooting craps and gambling
Woman I believe I done got broke
Had a poor mean fourty four
Man I’m already closing so
Man I went down to my praying ground
And I fell down on my knees
Went down to my praying ground
Lord I felt down on my knees

Won’t you bring me back my good gal please
If you just send me my baby
Won’t have to worry and cry no more
If you just send me my baby man
Lord I won’t have to worry and cry no more
Don’t have to bring to my house
