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)
