You know I'd chase the roll around Louisiana 'Til I finally got her down in New Orleans I could not be told nobody keep a hold on Rosianna So I guess I'd better show 'em what I mean The man don't live in Louisiana To make me give up my Rosianna Thought I'd haul back in Alabama Ain't no ball and chain about her They can't keep this boy from tryin' I'm gonna bring her back if I have to drag her all the way home, Yes I will In his big cold hand he ________________my Rosianna Got me sent up to the pen in Baton Rogue I caught him lyin' down __________________-with a ball peen hammer Yes I did When I left poor Hank he never got up again The man don't live in Louisiana To make me give up my Rosianna Thought I'd haul back in Alabama Ain't no ball and chain about her They can't keep this boy from tryin' I'm gonna bring her back if I have to drag her all the way home, Yes I will Fiddle solo So let the fact be known any mother's grown boy thinks I'm funny Is gonna find hisself a knot just like poor Hank Yes he will 'Cause the mother don't live in Louisiana To make me give up my Rosianna Thought I'd haul back in Alabama Ain't no ball and chain about her They can't keep this boy from tryin' I'm gonna bring her back if I have to drag her all the way home, Yes I will
