Reverend James Elmore Jenkins - Rolling On

I'm just an old lonesome pilgrim I hope y'all understand
I'm just another child that comes from this God-fearing land
I've walked across the desert I've searched the deep blue sea
But you're the only girl I've ever found who got the best of me
Still I don't care about your troubles either way I'll be gone
I'll see you when I see you baby I got to keep A-Rolling On

I've got sister morphine and cousin brandy sitting in my room
I say will you excuse ladies I believe I'll dust my broom
Now the walls are spinning circles objects are shifting too
I can see myself from different angles all wrapped up in the blues
Now I'll be going all night I'll cut right through the dawn
Don't ask me nothing about nothing baby I got to keep A-Rolling On

Well I'm lying in my bed it's about half past four
And here come the candy man he come a-knocking on my door
Now there's some good times that we've had but there's some hard times coming too
And these days I ain't worth much ever since I walked out on you
I don't know why I'm this way I just do things better on my own
So goodbye for now I got to keep A-Rolling On
