Lyrics Roll over Bessie - Blair Crimmins and the Hookers

Roll over Bessie

Oh Bessie please,
Just come down cause I need you,
I’ve been sitting here, singing your song,
I put your records on,
And I drink til dawn,
I’m as lonely as the night is long!
I’ve got the blues, too,
Just roll it over for me again!
So many years, so many pounds apart,
Just roll it over for me!
(Roll it over for me!)
I might be skinny, but you stole my heart,
So roll it over for me!
(Roll it over for me!)
I’ve been out talking to these other dames,
Roll it over for me!
(Roll it over for me!)
I’m coming home to you all the same,
Just roll it over for me!
(Roll it over for me!)
You can hear me coming, walking down the hall,
Well, I was riding on the wagon but the wheel broke off,
And now I’m low on sugar, but I’m high on gin,
You gotta roll it over for me again!
Some things about me you would understand,
Roll it over for me!
(Roll it over for me!)
You’ll get to know me, I’m a real strange man,
Just roll it over for me!
(Roll it over for me!)
And in the ballroom we can stomp on the boards,
Just roll it over for me!
(Roll it over for me!)
Or kick the dust up dancing on a bare dirt floor,
Just roll it over for me!
(Roll it over for me!)
Yeah, you’re heavier than Heaven, but you’re horny as Hell,
Just put your big leg over me, and I’ll start ringing your bell!
Because I’m low on sugar, but I’m high on gin,
You gotta roll it over for me again!
I know you’re singing for a hustling man,
So roll it over for me!
(Roll it over for me!)
Come down and see me any time you can,
So roll it over for me!
(Roll it over for me!)
I could be gone, I ain’t got nobody here,
So roll it over for me!
(Roll it over for me!)
Just the juice joint blues and a bottle of beer,
Roll it over for me!
(Roll it over for me!)
Well, you can hear me coming, walking down the hall,
Well, I was riding on the wagon, but the wheel broke off,
And now I’m low on sugar, but I’m high on gin,
You gotta roll it over for me again!
