Jimmy Dean "Make the Waterwheel Roll" |
(Mel Tillis - Marijohn Wilkin) Make the waterwheel roll, make the waterwheel roll Bossman, bossman, my hands're cold (Shut up boy and make the waterwheel roll) Make the waterwheel roll, make the waterwheel roll Grind that corn and make that meal The bossman's belly just gotta be filled Grind that corn and make that bread The bossman's young un's all gotta be fed. Make the waterwheel roll, make the waterwheel roll Bossman, bossman, he sure is mean Thinks of my body as a steam machine Make the waterwheel roll, make the waterwheel roll. Ole Willie John don't work too hard 'Cause he's got a woman in the rich man's yard I wanna run away but I'd be found 'Cause the bossman's got two big blood hounds. Make the waterwheel roll, make the waterwheel roll Bossman, bossman, he sure is mean Thinks of my body as a steam machine Make the waterwheel roll, make the waterwheel roll. Feel that rhythm in my soul sing my song while the waterwheel rolls Workin' all day in the cold cold rain I wish my Lord would call my name Make the waterwheel roll make the waterwheel roll. Make the waterwheel roll make the waterwheel roll. Make the waterwheel roll make the waterwheel roll... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
