Rolling Hills

(Michael Martin Murphey)

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.
