Roll On by Gillian Welch Lyrics
[Verse 1]
People a'talking
Said 'everybody knows'
Why am I the last to hear
That you're a no-good so-and-so?
[Chorus]
Roll on
Roll on
'Til you get good and gone
[Verse 2]
This tear I'm crying
Ain't account of you
Just a natural lover feeling
That's the Kansas City blues
[Chorus x2]
So Roll on
Roll on
'Til you get good and gone
Roll on
Roll on
'Til you get good and gone
[Verse 3]
Now this old muddy river
Rolls to New Orleans
Gonna find a good man there
And several in between
[Chorus x2]
So roll on
Roll on
'Til you get good and gone
Roll on
Roll on
'Til you get good and gone
People a'talking
Said 'everybody knows'
Why am I the last to hear
That you're a no-good so-and-so?
[Chorus]
Roll on
Roll on
'Til you get good and gone
[Verse 2]
This tear I'm crying
Ain't account of you
Just a natural lover feeling
That's the Kansas City blues
[Chorus x2]
So Roll on
Roll on
'Til you get good and gone
Roll on
Roll on
'Til you get good and gone
[Verse 3]
Now this old muddy river
Rolls to New Orleans
Gonna find a good man there
And several in between
[Chorus x2]
So roll on
Roll on
'Til you get good and gone
Roll on
Roll on
'Til you get good and gone
