Dough Roller Blues

Yes I rolled and I tumbled
and cried the whole night long
Yes I rolled and I tumbled
and I cried the whole night long
Yes I rose this morning
and I didn't know right from wrong

Have you ever woke up and
and found your dough roller gone
Have you ever woke up and
found your dough roller gone
Then you wring your hands
and you cried “Oooo” all day long

Yes I told my woman
just before brown left the town
Yes I told my woman
just before brown left the town
Don't you let no body
tear your barrel house down

Yes I fold my arms
and I begin to walk a way
Says I fold my arms
says I begin to walk a way
I said “That's all right sweet mama
your troubles gon' come some day”
