Billy Preston
Tumbling Dice (Live 1975)
[Verse 1]
Women think I'm tasty, but they're always tryin' to break me
And make me burn the candle right down
But baby, baby, I don't need no jewels in my crown
'Cause all you women is low down gamblers
Cheatin' like I don't know how
But baby, I go crazy, there's fever in the funk house now
This low down bitchin' got my poor feet a itchin'
You know, you know, the deuce is still wild

[Chorus]
Baby, I can't stay, you got to roll me
And call me the tumblin' dice

[Verse 2]
Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry
Don't see the time flashin' by
Honey, I got no money
I'm all sixes and sevens and nines
Say now, baby, I'm the rank outsider
You can be my partner in crime

[Chorus]
But baby, get it straight
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin' dice
Oh sugar plum
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Oh, my, my, my, I'm the lone craps shooter
Playing the field every night
Baby, get it straight
You got to roll me and call me the tumbling dice (Call me the tumbling)
Yeah, ya gotta
Yeah, ya gotta
Everybody needs somebody sometime baby
Everybody needs somebody sometime
Oh I need your help

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Ya got to roll back
Ya got to roll back
Ya got to keep on
And keep on rollin' back
Keep on rollin' back
Keep on rollin' back
Don't stop, don't stop
Oh yeah

[Audience Applause]
