Yes, I rolled an I rolled.
An I tried the whole night long.
Yes, I rolled an I rolled.
An I tried the whole night long.
I woke up this mo'nin.
Didn't know right from wrong.
Lord, I told my baby.
Before I left this town.
Lord, I told my baby.
Before I left this town.
Lord, don't let nobody
Tear my barrel house down.
Lord, I walked an I walked.
An cried the whole day long.
Yes, I did.
Yes, I walked an I walked.
An I cried the whole day long.
I didn't have nobody.
To tell my trouble to.
Yes, a long time!
And you never blow the whistle.
And no fireman rung the bell.
Bom-bom-bom-bom.
Bom-bom-bom-bom!
