Lyrics Silver Plated - Robert Johnson, Dexter Gordon Quintet

Silver Plated

I’m a steady rollin' man, I roll both night and day
I’m a steady rollin' man, hmm hmm, I roll both night and day
But I haven’t got no sweet woman, hmm mmm, boys, to be rollin' this-a way
I’m the man that rolls, when icicles is1 hangin' on the tree
I’m the man that rolls, when icicles is1 hangin' on the tree
And now you hear me howlin', baby, hmm hmm mmm, down on my bended knee
I’m a hard workin' man, have been for many years, I know
I’m a hard workin' man, have been for many long years, I know
And some cream puff’s usin' my money, ooh well, babe, but that’ll never be no more
You can’t give your sweet woman, everything she wants in one time
ooh hoo ooo, you can’t give your sweet woman, everything she wants in one time
Well, boys, she get ramblin' in her brain, hmm mmm mmm, some monkey man on her
mind
I’m a steady rollin' man, I roll both night and day
I’m a steady rollin' man, and I roll both night and day
Well I don’t have no sweet woman, hmm mmm, boys, to be rollin' this-a way
