Intro

Cut me down, bury this rosary

 Somewhere out of town, somewhere out by the sea

 And take this ring, and give it to Emily

 Tell her I'm peaceful now, Tell her I've been released

I will be rolling on, I will be rolling on

 Well I know that drill, I know it all too well

 It starts like a lonely voice, and it shifts to a tolling bell

 Like rain on the dusty ground, small bones in the driest well

 The spark breeds a fiery tongue, and the tongues kiss the cheek of Hell

 And I will be rolling on, I will be rolling on

 I've had my part to play, and now I'm going home

Interlude

 There's no telling which way, boys, this thing is going to take hold

 From the fruit on a poplar tree, to the bruise round a band of gold

 From the blood in a far country, to the war of just growing old

 We travel a lower road, and it's lonely and it is cold

 But we will be rolling on, we will be rolling on

 We've had our part to play, now we are going home

 We will keep rolling on, we will keep rolling on

 'Cos for every midnight hour, there's always a rising sun

 Ooooooooooooooh, Ooooooooooooooh (4x)

(Fade out)
