Rollin' & Tumblin'
(original Muddy Waters' version)
Words & Music:
McKinley Morganfield (Muddy Waters)

Note the similarity with the lyrics to "Catfish Blues".  This is traditionally played with a slide or Dobro, invariably in open G (D G D G B D).  Does anyone have a tab for the lick to this version?

  G
I roll and I tumble, cried the whole night long.
        G
Well, I roll and I tumble, I cried the whole night long.
  D                    C
I got up this morning, didn't know what gone wrong

Well, I told my baby before I left that town.
Well, I told my baby before I left that town.
Well, don't you let nobody tear my barrelhouse down.

[hummed verse]

Well, if the river was whiskey and I was a diving duck.
Well, if the river was whiskey and I was a diving duck.
Well, I would dive to the bottom, then would I come up.

Well, I coulda had religion, this old bad thing instead.
Well, I coulda had religion, this old bad thing instead.
Well, all the whiskey & women would not let me pray.

Canned Heat subbed in these verses after the first verse:
Well, now, want you to love me, baby, or please let me be.
Yes, love me, baby, or please let me be.
If you don't like my peaches, please don't shake my tree.

Well, I want you to love me, baby; come on, and say you'll be mine.
I want you to love me, baby, come and say you'll be mine.
If you don't like my potatoes, please don't dig up my vine.
