John Tams - Rolling Home
Verse:
Round Cgoes the wheel of fortune; don't Gbe afraid to Cride
There's a Fland of milk and Choney waits on the other Gside
There'll be Fpeace and there'll be Cplenty; you'll never need to Groam
When Cwe go rolling home, when we go Grolling Chome.
Chorus:
CRolling home,
when we go Frolling Ghome
When we go Crolling, Frolling,
when Cwe go Grolling Chome
Verse:
And the gentry in their fine array do prosper night and morn
While we into the fields must go to plough and sow the corn.
The rich may steal the power, but the glory's ours alone.
When we go rolling home, when we go rolling home.
Chorus
Verse:
The frost lies on the hedgerows and the icy winds do blow
While we poor weary labourers strive through the driving snow.
Our dreams fly up to glory - up where the larks have flown.
When we go rolling home, when we go rolling home.
Chorus
Verse:
The summer of resentment. The winter of despair.
The journey to contentment is set with trap and snare.
Stand true and stand together; your labour is your own.
When we go rolling home, when we go rolling home.
Chorus
Verse:
So pass the bottle round and let the toast go free.
Here's a health to every labourer wherever they may be.
Fair wages now and ever. Lets reap what we have sown.
When we go rolling home, when we go rolling home.
Chorus
