Rollin’ and Tumblin’

Bob Dylan

I rolled and I tumbled, I cried the whole night long
I rolled and I tumbled, I cried the whole night long
Woke up this morning´, I must have 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 glowing´, gleaming´ in the golden light of day
The landscape is glowing´, gleaming´ in the gold light of day
I am not holding nothing´ back now, I am not standing´ 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 and my suffering´ 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 house boy, I ain´t nobody´s well trained maid

I´m flat-out spent, this woman has been driving´ me to tears
I´m flat-out spent, this woman she has been driving´ me to tears
This woman so crazy, I swear I ain´t gonna touch another one for years

Well, the warm weather is coming´ and the buds are on the vine
The warm weather´s comin´, the buds are on the vine
Ain´t nothing so depressing as trying to satisfy this woman of mine

I got up this morning´, saw the rising sun return
Well, I got up this morning´, seen the rising sun return
Sooner or later you too shall burn

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

Let´s forgive each other darling´, let´s go down to the greenwood glen
Let´s forgive each other darling´, let´s go down to the greenwood glen
Let´s put our heads together, let´s put old matters to an end

Now I rolled and I tumbled and 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 traveling´ wrong
