Well, I rolled and I tumbled, I cried the whole night long
I said, I rolled and I tumbled, I cried the whole night long
Well, when I woke up this mornin', I didn't know right from wrong
Yes, I told that woman before I left that town
I said, I told that woman before I left that town
Well, don't you let nobody tear my barrelhouse down
Well, if the river was whiskey, I were a divin' duck
I said, if the river was whiskey, I were a divin' duck
I would dive to the bottom and never would come up
I coulda have religion, back in the old gone day
I said, I coulda have religion, back in the old gone day
Well, but that whiskey and women would not let me be
I said, I rolled and I tumbled, I cried the whole night long
Well, when I woke up this mornin', I didn't know right from wrong
Yes, I told that woman before I left that town
I said, I told that woman before I left that town
Well, don't you let nobody tear my barrelhouse down
Well, if the river was whiskey, I were a divin' duck
I said, if the river was whiskey, I were a divin' duck
I would dive to the bottom and never would come up
I coulda have religion, back in the old gone day
I said, I coulda have religion, back in the old gone day
Well, but that whiskey and women would not let me be
