Lyrics for Song: Make the Waterwheel Roll
Lyrics for Album: Big Dad John [1993]



(Mel Tillis - Marijohn Wilkin)



Make the waterwheel roll, make the waterwheel roll

Bossman, bossman, my hands're cold

(Shut up boy and make the waterwheel roll)

Make the waterwheel roll, make the waterwheel roll



Grind that corn and make that meal

The bossman's belly just gotta be filled

Grind that corn and make that bread

The bossman's young un's all gotta be fed.



Make the waterwheel roll, make the waterwheel roll

Bossman, bossman, he sure is mean

Thinks of my body as a steam machine

Make the waterwheel roll, make the waterwheel roll.



Ole Willie John don't work too hard

'Cause he's got a woman in the rich man's yard

I wanna run away but I'd be found

'Cause the bossman's got two big blood hounds.



Make the waterwheel roll, make the waterwheel roll

Bossman, bossman, he sure is mean

Thinks of my body as a steam machine

Make the waterwheel roll, make the waterwheel roll.



Feel that rhythm in my soul sing my song while the waterwheel rolls

Workin' all day in the cold cold rain

I wish my Lord would call my name

Make the waterwheel roll make the waterwheel roll.



Make the waterwheel roll make the waterwheel roll.

Make the waterwheel roll make the waterwheel roll...
