Roll The Old Chariot Along

Lyrics from Shanties from the Seven Seas, by Stan Hugill

Oh, a drop of Nelson's blood wouldn't do us any harm, Oh, a drop of Nelson's blood wouldn't do us any harm, Oh, a drop of Nelson's blood wouldn't do us any harm, An' we'll all hang on behind! So we'll ro-o-oll the old chariot along! An' we'll roll the golden chariot along! So we'll ro-o-oll the old chariot along! An' we'll all hang on behind! Oh, a plate of Irish stew wouldn't do us any harm, Oh, a plate of Irish stew wouldn't do us any harm, Oh, a plate of Irish stew wouldn't do us any harm, An' we'll all hang on behind! So we'll ro-o-oll the old chariot along! An' we'll roll the golden chariot along! So we'll ro-o-oll the old chariot along! An' we'll all hang on behind! Oh, a nice fat cook wouldn't do us any harm. Oh, a roll in the clover wouldn't do us any harm. Oh, a long spell in gaol wouldn't do us any harm. Oh, a nice watch below wouldn't do us any harm. Oh, a night with the gals wouldn't do us any harm.
