Chorus)
Just a roll, just a roll
Just a roll on your drum
Just a roll, just a roll
And the war has begun
Now the right thing's the wrong thing
No more excuses to come
Just one step at a time
And the war has begun
(Chorus)
She's run away, she's run away
And she ran so bitterly
Now call to your colours, friend
Don't you call to me
(Chorus)
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Don't you cry upon the sea
Don't you cry, don't you cry
For your lady and me
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
