Subject: Lyr Add: ROLL THE WOODPILE DOWN
i don't think a sea shanty like this needs a guitar?
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!
Rollin'! Rollin'! Rollin' the whole world 'round That brown girl o' mine's down the Georgia Line 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 black man's wage is never high.
O Curly goes on the old ran-tan O Curly's just a down-east man.
O one more heave and that will do We're the bullies for to kick 'er through.
