...gawd, I so love RL Burnside, thank you so much for playing in Baton Rouge, you are truly a great bluesman and will live forever in my heart, and my listening here in utube/wynn, rest in peace brother
Listen to Cream's version and you will hear the line "the engineer blows the whistle, the fireman he rings the bell". A LOT of versions use that line. Then go check out all the many different versions and you will see, just like R.L. , they all use different lyrics. It's still the same song. That's a tradition of the blues, and many other forms of folk music. Different artists use their own unique versions of the lyrics. I'd rather be arrogant than ignorant. Not really, but it sounded cool. Ha!
I love this song, one of the baddest jams ever. Rest in peace RL, hopefully we'll meet someday and you can amuse me with your stories and teach me how to slide on those strings.
it rocks!!

No, actually, this song IS called Rollin' and Tumblin'. Check out the album "Burnside on Burnside".

Doncha hate it when people talk about things that they don't no nothin about?
theonlybyrone 2 years ago
Yeah, I sure do. How do you explain the song Rollin' and Tumblin' which has entirely different lyrics or is your arrogant ass just not aware of that?
