4. I'm A Rollin' Stone

One, two, three, four . . .

Well, I'm blue
Baby, I'm lonely
Just as blue, baby
As I can be
Well, I ain't got me nobody in this
Take word of that Big world to care for me

Well, I'm leaving
Early in the morning
And it gonna gets I think I'm gonna catch me
That morning train
And I hope that you will pack your suitcase, little girl
And do the same old thing

Well, I wish
I was a catfish
Somewhere swimming
In the deep blue sea
Well, I will would have all the good looking pussy, don't you know
Sure 'nough, just a-fishing after me
Just a-fishing after me
Just a-fishing after me
Just a-fishing after me

Well, I went
To see my baby
Yes, and I sit down
On the her step
And she said, "Wait a minute, Frankie
My husband just now left
Well, he just now left
Well, he just now left"

Well, my mama
Run to my daddy
Just about three months
Before I was born
She said, "I I've got a boy child coming now
And He's a-gonna be a rolling stone"

Well, I wish
I was a catfish
Somewhere swimming
In the deep blue sea
Well, I will have all the good looking pussy, don't you know
Sure 'nough, just a-fishing after me
Just a-fishing after me
Just a-fishing after me
Just a-fishing after me

Well, I went
To see my babybabe
Yes, and I sit down
On her step
And she said, "Wait a minute, Frankie
My husband just now left
Well, he just now left"

"Would you come in and make yourself comfortable
Over here by the radiator
And those curtains with the big roses on 'em
Right over here by the Silvertone 45 rpm
Imitation stereo record player
Would you like a little [nurkie]nooky?
A little [nurkie]nooky?
Will you have a little package of [nurkie]nooky?"
