"Getting one's ashes hauled"?

I was thinking that the 19th century nautical slang term "rock & roll" meant "let's get on with it," not necessarily a sexual act. But then there there's the plaintive leaving shanty "One more day" where the lady says "rock and roll me easy, one more day."

The meaning may have evolved to a sexual meaning when it was adopted by Black blues singers in the 1930s and '40s.
