Testo Roll Down the Line - Pete Seeger
Testo della canzone Roll Down the Line (Pete Seeger), tratta dall'album Pop Legends Vol 1
Way back yonder in Tennessee
They leased the convicts out
Sent them workin' in the mine
Against Free Labor's stout
Free Labor rebelled against it
To win it took some time
But when the lease was in effect
They made 'em rise and shine
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder come my darlin'
Comin' down the line
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder come my darlin'
Comin' down the line
Early Monday mornin'
They get 'em up on time
Send you down to Lone Rock
Just to look into that mine
Send you down to Lone Rock
Just to look into that hole
Very next thing the captain says
"You better get your pole"
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder come my darlin'
Comin' down the line
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder come my darlin'
Comin' down the line
The beans, they are half-done
The bread is not so well
The meat, it is all burned up
And the coffee's black as heck
But when you get your task done
And on the floor you fall
Anything you get to eat
Would taste good, done or raw
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder come my darlin'
Comin' down the line
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder come my darlin'
Comin' down the line
The bank boss, he's a hard man
A man you all know well
And if you don't get your task done
He's gonna give you hallelujah
And when you get your task done
And on the floor you fall
Very next thing the captain says
"You better get your pole"
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder come my darlin'
Comin' down the line
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder come my darlin'
Comin' down the line
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder come my darlin'
Comin' down the line
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder come my darlin'
Comin' down the line
