Rolling hills,
I'm standing still.
I miss sweet Cindy
She lives away down south.
Rolling home
I can hear that black snake moan.
Old blind lemon
He was not so blind.
Not so blind
Oh you laughing waters
Down by the place of laughing waters
I'm going to jump right in.
I'm going to wash away my sin.
When I return again
To the rolling hills.
Rolling hills,
I came to New York City
And my pockets are filled.
I still miss my little baby
Playing by the door.
Rolling in her arms,
I feel her superstitious charms,
Old crazy water witch
She is not so crazy
She ain't crazy.
Oh, you laughing waters
Down by the place of laughing waters
I'm going to jump right in.
I'm going to wash away my sin
When I return again
To the rolling hills.
