J ust a roll, just a roll
J ust a roll on your drum
J ust a roll, just a roll
And the wa r h as begun
N ow the right things, the wrong things
N o more excuses to come
J ust one step at a time
And the wa r h as begun
J ust a roll, just a roll
J ust a roll on your drum
J ust a roll, just a roll
And the wa r h as begun
S he's run away, she's run away
A nd she ran so bitterly
N ow call to your colours, friend
Do n't you ca ll to me
J ust a roll, just a roll
J ust a roll on your drum
J ust a roll, just a roll
And the war ha s begun
D on't you cry, don't you cry
D on't you cry upon the sea
D on't you cry, don't you cry
For your la -d y and me
J ust a roll, just a roll
J ust a roll on your drum
J ust a roll, just a roll
And the wa r h as begun
J ust a roll, just a roll
J ust a roll on your drum
J ust a roll, just a roll
And the wa r h as begun
