21 Oct 96 - 10:20 AM (#99) Subject: Lyric request Rolling Home? From: GUEST I have heard this song sung once only at the Kirklington Lamb & Ale feast in Oxfordshire.. It appears to be about farm labourers forming a union. I think each verse ends with -- when we go rolling home and the chorus is -- Rolling home, when we go rolling home, rolling, rolling, when we go rolling home. Can anybody help?

I'll try to post the lyrics later (ie from home and not work) as its quite lengthy. If I don't manage to do it, look for it on albums by either of the above two performers. |

From: John Pomeroy Thanks Tony, I found it on a roy Bailey Album "What you do with what you've got" Fuse Records And thanks also Dick, But I knew it could,nt be "Ive got sixpence". My father used to sing that when I were a lad growing up in Somerset. It did,nt have quite the political edge of the song I heard at Kirklington!. |
