Lyrics

Rockin’ Rollin’ Boy

Since I lost that woman
I ain't had nothing but pain
I know if she were to come back
I'd do it all again
I don't know why I'm crying
She's been gone a while
But how can I be happy
When the guys won’t make me smile?

And I'm just a rockin' rollin' boy
I ain't got nothing to lose
The only time that I'm happy
Is when I'm singing the blues
When I'm singing the blues

I gambled all my money
But all my luck was bad
I lost every time I tried
Just to keep what I had
I don't know why I'm crying
I've been poor a while
But how can I be happy
If I can't afford to smile?

And I'm just a rockin' rollin' boy
I ain't got nothing to lose
The only time that I'm happy
Is when I'm singing the blues
When I'm singing the blues

And when you're down and lonely
That's when you need someone
Just when I was looking round
I saw all my friends were gone
I don't know why I'm crying
They've been gone awhile
But how can I be happy
When there's no one to make me smile?

And I'm just a rockin' rollin' boy...
