Ham and eggs, pork and beans

I would'a had more, boys, but the cook was so mean

I'm gonna ro-o-oll, roll in a hurry, hurry, hurry

To make it on the side o' the road

If I had known my captain was blind

Wouldn't'a come to work, boys, when the clock struck nine

I'm gonna ro-o-oll, roll in a hurry, hurry, hurry

To make it on the side o' the road

Pork and beans, pork and beans

Would'a had more, but the cook was so mean

I'm gonna ro-o-oll, roll in a hurry, hurry, hurry

To make it on the side o' the road

If I had known my captain was back

I wouldn't'a sold that special, gun that is, that I once had

Ooh well, gonna ro-o-oll, roll in a hurry, hurry, hurry

To make it on the side o' the road

Ham and eggs, pork and beans

Would'a had more, but the cook was so mean, ah mean

I'm gonna ro-o-oll, roll in a hurry, hurry, hurry

Oh, to make it on the side o' the road

Ham and eggs, pork and beans

Would'a had more, boy, but the cook was so mean

I'm gonna ro-o-oll, roll in a hurry, hurry, hurry

Oh, to make it on the side o' the road

Oh, to make it on the side o' the road

Oh, to make it on the side o' the road
