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
