I rolled and I tumbled,

I cried the whole night long

Woke up this mornin',
                         A#
I must've bet my money wrong

I got troubles so hard,
I can't stand the strain
I got troubles so hard,
I just can't stand the strain
Some young lazy slut has charmed away my brains

The landscape is glowin',
gleamin' in the golden light of day
The landscape is glowin',
gleamin' in the golden light of day
I ain't holding nothin' back now,
I ain't standin' in anybody's way

Well, I did all I know just
to keep you off my mind
Well, I did all I know just
to keep you off my mind
Well, I paid and I paid;
my sufferin' heart is always on the line

Well, I get up in the dawn and
I go down and lay in the shade
I get up in the dawn and
I go down and lay in the shade
I ain't nobody's houseboy,
I ain't nobody's well-trained maid

I'm flat out spent, this woman been
drivin' me to tears
I'm flat out spent, this woman,
she been drivin' me to tears
This woman so crazy, I swear
I ain't gonna touch another one for years

Well, the warm weather's comin'
and the buds are on the vine
Warm weather's comin';
the buds are on the vine
Ain't nothin' more depressin'
than tryin' to satisfy this woman of mine

I got up this mornin',
saw the risin' sun return
Well, I got up this mornin',
seen the risin' sun return
Sooner or later, you too shall burn

Well, the night's filled with shadows,
the years are filled with early doom
The night is filled with shadows,
the years are filled with early doom
I've been conjuring up all
these long dead souls from their crumblin' tombs

Let's forgive each other, darlin',
let's go down to the Greenwood Glen
Let's forgive each other, darlin',
let's go down to the Greenwood Glen
Let's put our heads together now,
let's put all ol' matters to an end

Now I rolled and I tumbled,
I cried the whole night long
Ah, I rolled and I tumbled,
I cried the whole night long
I woke up this morning,
I think I must be travelin' wrong
