Roll the Woodpile Down
Hymnal Index | Ship's Company Website
CHORUS:
Rollin'! Rollin'! Rollin' the whole world 'round
That brown girl o' mine on the Georgia Line
And we'll roll the woodpile down!
Way down south where the cocks do crow
'Way down in Florida
The gals all dance to the old banjo
And we'll roll the woodpile down!
When I was a young man in me prime
I'd take them yaller gals two at a time.
We'll roll him high and we'll roll him low
We'll heave him up and away we'll go.
Oh rouse and bust 'er is the cry;
A shellback's wage is never high.
O one more heave and that will do
We're the bullies for to kick 'er through.
