I don't have an author attributed to this.

Rollin' Home
As sung by Ricky Rackin, San Rafael, California


Round go the wheel of fortune, don't be afraid to ride
There's a land of milk and honey waits on the other side
There'll be peace and there'll be plenty, you'll never need to roam
When we go rollin' home, when we go rolling home

Chorus:
Rollin' home, when we go rollin' home
When we go rollin', rollin'
When we go rollin' home

The gentry in his finery who prospers night and morn
While we unto the fields must go to plow and sow the corn
The rich may steal the power but the glory is our own
When we go rollin' home, when we go rolling home

The summer of resentment, the winter of despair
The journey to contentment is set with trap and snare
Stand true and stand together, your labor is your own
When we go rollin' home, when we go rolling home

The frost is on the hedgerow, the icy winds do blow
While we poor weary laborers strive thru the sleet and snow
Our hopes fly out to glory, of where the lords do go
When we go rollin' home, when we go rolling home

Oh, pass the bottle 'round and let the toast go free
Here's a health to every laborer wherever he may be
Fair wages now and ever, let's reap what we have sown
When we go rollin' home, when we go rolling home

Round go the wheel of fortune, don't be afraid to ride
There's a land of milk and honey waits on the other side
There'll be peace and there'll be plenty, you'll never need to roam
When we go rollin' home, when we go rolling home

The song Hawker is looking for (not sixpence) is by John Tams and has been posted to the forum, so do a forum search. It will be in the next edition of the DT, due fairly soon.

I know I am probably not using the right word or something on the search! Can anybody supply me with the words to Rolling home - the one that's chorus goes.....

Rolling home, when we go Rolling home, when we go rolling, rolling, when we go rolling home.

And to settle an issue at home here, who wrote it?
I Know I can depend on you all!

Cheers,
Lucy
