I got these lyrics off my old "Best of Canned Heat" album, which I
purchased at K-Mart in the late 70s or early 80s! They give credit to
McKinley Morganfield (Muddy Waters) for writing this tune.
Rollin' and Tumblin' (M. Morganfield)
Well I roll and a-tumble,
I cried the whole night long. (2x)
Well I had the feelin', baby,
Somethin's goin' on wrong.
Well I really love you, baby,
Come on and say you'll be mine. (2x)
Well, if you don't like my taters,
Don't you trip (?) my vine.
Well I cried last night, mama,
I cried the night before. (2x)
Well I had the feelin', baby,
You don't love me no more.
Well if the river was whiskey,
I was a dime a dunk. (2x)
Well I would swim to the bottom,
Baby, I wouldn't come up.
Well I roll and a-tumble,
I cried the whole night long. (2x)
Well I had the feelin', baby,
Somethin's goin' on wrong.
Any feedback, suggestiosn (especially on the second verse!), etc. are
welcome.

Believe that that should be "diving duck".
Taj Mahal (for one) does this as the first verse of what he calls Diving
Duck Blues.
