[Verse 1]
Oh well, a-rollin' 'n' tumbled, baby, I cried the whole night long
Oh well, a-rollin' 'n' tumbled, baby, I cried the whole night long
Oh well, I had the feelin', baby, that somethin' was goin' on wrong

[Verse 2]
Oh well, I tried last night, mama, I tried the night before
Oh well, I tried last night, mama, I tried the night before
Oh well, I had the feelin', baby, that you don't love me no more

[Verse 3]
Well, if the river was whiskey, I was a divin' duck
Well, if the river was whiskey, I was a divin' duck
Well, I would swim to the bottom, baby, I would not come up

[Verse 1]
Oh well, a-rollin' 'n' tumbled, baby, I cried the whole night long
Oh well, a-rollin' 'n' tumbled, baby, I cried the whole night long
Oh well, I had the feelin', baby, that somethin' was goin' on wrong
