about

Our take of a Delta standard, originally written by Hambone Willie Newbern and performed by Muddy Waters, Bonnie Raitt and Imelda May among many others, one of the first Blues numbers in which the vocals are sung on the fourth degree. The hypnotic and powerful rhythm section of Isi and Javier provides the song with a sense and feeling of distress and tribal rhythm.

lyrics

"Rollin' And Tumblin'"

Well, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long
Well, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long
Well, I woke up this mornin', didn't know right from wrong

Well, I told my baby, before I left that town
Well, I told my baby, before I left that town
Well, don't you let nobody, tear my barrelhouse down

Well, ahh, mmm-hmmm, owww, oww ooo, aww, oww, oh
Aaa, mmm-hmmm, oww, oh oh oh owww, oww ooo, aww, oww, oh

Well, if the river was whiskey, and I was a divin' duck
Well, if the river was whiskey, and I was a divin' duck
Well, I would dive to the bottom, never would I come up

Well, I could a had a religion, this bad old thing instead
Well, I could a had a religion, this bad old thing instead
Well, all whiskey and women, would not let me pray
