14 Jun 17 - 11:00 PM (#3860953) Subject: Lyr Add: I'M ROLLIN' ON (Prairie Ramblers) From: cnd Yes Joe, that's the correct song. The video indicates that the song is originally by the Monroe Brothers, but I can't find their version, but an earlier version by the Prairie Ramblers (click) is available. Note that this is a western swing version of the song, not a bluegrass version, as the Monroe Brothers' would be. Lyrics are as follows: I wish I was in Southland, sitting in a chair One arm around my old guitar, and the other 'round my dear REFRAIN I'm rolling on, I'm rolling on I'm rolling on through life, just rolling on Sitting in the moonlight, blue as blue can be Strumming on my old guitar just to give my poor heart ease I'm rolling on &c. I have no home or money, everyone turned me down Always digged them old guitar, it's the only true friend I've found I'm rolling on &c. Yodeling solo Whether I'm in the city, whether I'm in a town My guitar is always near me whether I'm up or down I'm rolling on &c. Maybe someday I'll marry if I can find a girl But I'll always love my guitar as much as I love her I'm rolling on &c. My guitar now will travel, we'll travel from shore to shore And when me find a little girl, we'll never travel no more I'm rolling on &c. Yodeling solo And Joe, here is a second request for this exact same song from 2012. I suppose you could combine them if you wanted, but not much came of it. thread.cfm?threadid=143857#3322685 |
