John Roberts – Roll Down

John Roberts – Roll Down Lyrics

Artist: John Roberts
Song: Roll Down

Sweet ladies of Plymouth, we’re saying goodbye
Roll down
But we’ll rock you and roll you again bye and bye
Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down

And we will roll down
Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down
Now the anchor’s aweigh and the sails are unfurled
Roll down

And we’re bound for to take her half-way round the world
Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down
And we will roll down
Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down

In the wide Bay of Biscay the seas will run high
Roll down
And the poor sickly transports they’ll wish they could die
Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down

And we will roll down
Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down
When the wild coast of Africa it do appеar
Roll down

The poor nervous transports they’ll trеmble with fear
Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down
And we will roll down
Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down

When the Cape of Good Hope it is rounded at last
Roll down
The poor lonesome transports they’ll long for the past
Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down

And we will roll down
Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down
When the great southern whales on our quarter do spout
Roll down

The poor simple transports they’ll goggle and shout
Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down
And we will roll down
Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down

And when we arrive off Australia’s strand
Roll down
The poor weary transports they’ll long for the land
Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down

And we will roll down
Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down
And when we set sail for old England’s shore
Roll down

The poor stranded transports we’ll see them no more
Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down
And we will roll down
Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down

Then sweet ladies of Plymouth we’ll pay all your rent
Roll down
And go roving no more till our money’s all spent
Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down

And we will roll down
Walk her round, my brave boys and roll down
