Shelby County Workhouse Blues
Hambone Willie Newbern
2:58And 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 rolled this morning, mama And I didn't know right from wrong Did you ever wake up And find your doughroller gone? Did you ever wake up And find your doughroller gone? And you wring your hands And you cry the whole day long And I told my woman, Lord Before I left the town And I told my woman Just before I left the town Don't she let nobody Tear her barrelhouse down And I fold my arms, Lord And I walked away And I fold my arms And I slowly walked away Said, "That's alright, sweet mama Your trouble gonna come someday"
