about

This song was first introduced to me by a great Atlanta based drummer in the 90's, Jason Reichert. I have been playing it ever since. You may have heard other versions but you haven't really lived till you hear the Andy Griffith version from Alia Kazan's A Face in the Crowd.

lyrics

If the river were Whisky and I was a Divin’
I was a Divin’ I was a Divin’ Duck
If the river were Whisky baby
And I was a Divin’ Duck
I would dive down to the bottom
baby I would never come up

Sun gonna shine on my back door
on my lonesome backdoor Someday
The sun gonna shine baby on my back door someday
The wind gonna come up
and blow my natural blues away

Wrap your arms around me
like a circle round the sun
Won’t cha do me pretty momma
like your easy rider done
Wrap your arms around me baby
like a circle round the shinin’ sun
Won’t cha do me pretty momma
like your easy rider done

Let me be your sidetrack honey
Baby Til your mainline
Til your natural mainline comes
Honey let me be your sidetrack
till your natural mainline comes
Cause I’m a dough rollin’ daddy
Roll you from sun to sun
