lyrics

I was rollin and tumblin, and I cried the whole night long.
I was rollin and tumblin, and I cried the whole night long.
When I woke up this mornin, I didn't know my right from wrong.

I told my baby right before I left this town,
I told my baby right before I left this town,
I said 'hold on hoochie mama, don't you let nobody burn my barrel house down.'

If this river was whiskey, and I was a divin duck,
If this river was whiskey, and I was a divin duck,
I would dive down to the bottom, and I would never come up.

I was rollin and tumblin, and I cried the whole night long.
I was rollin and tumblin, and I cried the whole night long.
When I woke up this mornin, I said when I woke up this mornin...
I woke up this mornin...
I didn't know...
my right from wrong.
