ROLL AND TUMBLE
Hambone Willie Newbern
Key: G

        C7 
-5 -5   7   7  7  7   7
And I roll and I tum-ble
                              G
 7  7   7   -5    -6   -5   -5-4
And I cried the whole night long
       C7                
-5 -5  7    7  7  7   7
And I roll and I tum-ble
                                G
 7  7   7   -5    -6   -5   -5-4
And I cried the whole night long
        D7
-9 -9  -9   -9   -9  -9  -9 -9
And I rose this morn-ing ma-ma
       C7                       G  
 7  7  8  -7* 8-7*   -9   -7*   7
And I did-n’t know right from wrong


Did you ever wake up and find
your dough roller gone  2X
And you wring your head
And you cry the whole night long

And I told my woman before I left town 2X
Don’t she let nobody 
tear her barrelhouse down

And I fold my arms and I slowly walk away 2X
Say, that’s alright mama,
Your trouble gonna come someday

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
