| Oh Bessie please,
|
| Just come down cause I need you,
|
| I’ve been sitting here, singing your song,
|
| I put your records on,
|
| And I drink til dawn,
|
| I’m as lonely as the night is long!
|
| I’ve got the blues, too,
|
| Just roll it over for me again!
|
| So many years, so many pounds apart,
|
| Just roll it over for me!
|
| (Roll it over for me!)
|
| I might be skinny, but you stole my heart,
|
| So roll it over for me!
|
| (Roll it over for me!)
|
| I’ve been out talking to these other dames,
|
| Roll it over for me!
|
| (Roll it over for me!)
|
| I’m coming home to you all the same,
|
| Just roll it over for me!
|
| (Roll it over for me!)
|
| You can hear me coming, walking down the hall,
|
| Well, I was riding on the wagon but the wheel broke off,
|
| And now I’m low on sugar, but I’m high on gin,
|
| You gotta roll it over for me again!
|
| Some things about me you would understand,
|
| Roll it over for me!
|
| (Roll it over for me!)
|
| You’ll get to know me, I’m a real strange man,
|
| Just roll it over for me!
|
| (Roll it over for me!)
|
| And in the ballroom we can stomp on the boards,
|
| Just roll it over for me!
|
| (Roll it over for me!)
|
| Or kick the dust up dancing on a bare dirt floor,
|
| Just roll it over for me!
|
| (Roll it over for me!)
|
| Yeah, you’re heavier than Heaven, but you’re horny as Hell,
|
| Just put your big leg over me, and I’ll start ringing your bell!
|
| Because I’m low on sugar, but I’m high on gin,
|
| You gotta roll it over for me again!
|
| I know you’re singing for a hustling man,
|
| So roll it over for me!
|
| (Roll it over for me!)
|
| Come down and see me any time you can,
|
| So roll it over for me!
|
| (Roll it over for me!)
|
| I could be gone, I ain’t got nobody here,
|
| So roll it over for me!
|
| (Roll it over for me!)
|
| Just the juice joint blues and a bottle of beer,
|
| Roll it over for me!
|
| (Roll it over for me!)
|
| Well, you can hear me coming, walking down the hall,
|
| Well, I was riding on the wagon, but the wheel broke off,
|
| And now I’m low on sugar, but I’m high on gin,
|
| You gotta roll it over for me again! |
