Roll Down
Sweet ladies of Plymouth, we're saying goodbye
Ro-o-o-oll down!
But we'll rock you and roll you
again bye and bye
Walk her round, me brave boys and roll down!
And we will ro-o-o-oll down!
Walk her round, me brave boys and roll down!
Now the anchor's aweigh
Ro-o-o-oll down!
and the sails are unfurled
And we're bound for to take her
half-way round the world
Walk her round, me brave boys and roll down!
And we will ro-o-o-oll down!
Walk her round, me brave boys and roll down!
In the wide Bay of Biscay the seas will run high
Ro-o-o-oll down!
And the poor sickly transports
they'll wish they could die
Walk her round, me brave boys and roll down!
And we will ro-o-o-oll down!
Walk her round, me brave boys and roll down!
When the wild coast of Africa it do appear
Ro-o-o-oll down!
The poor nervous transports
they'll tremble with fear
Walk her round, me brave boys and roll down!
And we will ro-o-o-oll down!
Walk her round, me brave boys and roll down!
When the Cape of Good Hope
it is rounded at last
Ro-o-o-oll down!
The poor lonesome transports
they'll long for the past
Walk her round, me brave boys and roll down!
And we will ro-o-o-oll down!
Walk her round, me brave boys and roll down!
When the great southern whales
on our quarter do spout
Ro-o-o-oll down!
Them poor simple transports
they'll goggle and shout
Walk her round, me brave boys and roll down!
And we will ro-o-o-oll down!
Walk her round, me brave boys and roll down!
And when we arrive off Australia's strand
Ro-o-o-oll down!
The poor weary transports
they'll long for the land
Walk her round, me brave boys and roll down!
And we will ro-o-o-oll down!
Walk her round, me brave boys and roll down!
And when we set sail for old England's shore
Ro-o-o-oll down!
The poor stranded transports
we'll see them no more
Walk her round, me brave boys and roll down!
And we will ro-o-o-oll down!
Walk her round, me brave boys and roll down!
Then sweet ladies of Plymouth
we'll pay all your rent
Ro-o-o-oll down!
And go roving no more till our money's all spent
Walk her round, me brave boys and roll down!
And we will ro-o-o-oll down!
Walk her round, me brave boys and roll down!
