Did you Dbever wake up and find your dough roller Abgone?
Did you Dbever wake up and find your dough roller Abgone?
And you Ebwring your hands and Dbcry the Cbwhole Dbday Ablong.

And I Dbtold my woman lord, before I left the Abtown.
And I Dbtold my woman lord, before I left the Abtown.
Don't she let nobody tear her barrelhouse down.

And I Dbfold my arms lord, and I walked a-Abway.
And I Dbfold my arms lord, and I walked a-Abway.
And Ebthat's all right, sweet mama your own Dbtrouble gonna Cbcome Dbsome Abday.
