JUMBELIAH (ROLL OVER)^©

Live 23 Jul 1971 version

I said I got a girl I wanna tell you her name
She lives way down south in New Orleans
She's strong like a lion, she growls like a tiger
And I call my woman Jumbeliah
Jumbeliah, she's my fire

Well she comes on dressed like a hurricane
She drives old doctors all insane
She's a sweet little woman, she's a hot rock and roller
Built like Marilyn Monroe and she walks just like Smokey Stover*
Jumbeliah, she's my fire

She was born and bred down in Louisiana
Dressed in blue jeans and a red bandana
She loves a man, she roll on him in clover
She loves him so hard, all you can do is
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, over and over again

[spoken:] Mr. Bobby on the saxophone!
[sax solo by Bobby Feigenbaum]
[guitar solo]

Jumbeliah, she's my fire
Well she was born and bred down in Louisiana
Dressed in blue jeans and a red bandana
And when she loves a man, she rolls him in clover
She loves him so hard, all you can do is
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over

[instrumental]

I said I got a girl I wanna tell you her name
Way down south in New Orleans
Strong like a lion, wild like a tiger
Call my woman Jumbeliah
Jumbeliah, oh yeah, she's my fire
Jumbeliah, she's my fire
Jumbeliah... Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
