Lyrics
The Roman Wall Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Over the heather the wet wind blows
I've lice in my tunic and a cold in my nose
The rain comes pattering out of the sky
I'm a Wall soldier, I don't know why
The mist creeps over the hard grey stone
My girl's in Tungria; I sleep alone
Aulus goes hanging around her place
I don't like his manners, I don't like his face
Piso's a Christian, he worships a fish
There'd be no kissing if he had his wish
She gave me a ring but I diced it away
I want my girl and I want my pay
When I'm a veteran with only one eye
I shall do nothing but look at the sky
