Make The Waterwheel Roll

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...

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
