Count Basie at Carnegie Hall-"Roll'em Pete"

ROLL 'EM PETE
(Big Joe Turner)

I got a girl, lives up on the hill.
I got a girl, lives up on the hill.
Tryin' to quit me, Lord, but I love her still.

Got eyes like diamonds, they shine like Klondike gold.
Eyes like diamonds, they shine like Klondike gold.
Every time she loves me, she makes my blood run cold.

Body beautiful, but you've got to die someday.
Body beautiful, but you've got to die someday.
All I want's a little lovin', just before you pass away.

Roll 'em boy, gonna jump for joy.
Yeah, man, happy as a baby boy.
Baby boy needs a brand new choo-choo toy.
Aww! Aww!

[Instrumental break.]

That's right, Jimmy!

[Instrumental break continues.]

Aw, baby, you'all could be teachin' me how to rhyme.
Aw, baby, you'all could be teachin' me how to rhyme.
Sit quiet in the middle and daddy will light your fire.

Well, Rebecca, Rebecca, get your big legs offa me.
Well, Rebecca, Rebecca, get your big legs offa me.
I gave you away, 'cause you wore the hell outta me.

I said, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
[Fade.]
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.

[The following verse is heard on some versions of the song.]

Pretty baby, I'm goin' away and leave you by yourself.
Pretty baby, I'm goin' away and leave you by yourself.
You've mistreated me, now you can mistreat somebody else
