Roll On Buddy - Live Lyrics
You can take this hammer
And you can carry it to the captain
And you can tell him I'm gone
Better tell him I'm gone
And if you ask him
If he ask him was I running
You tell him I was flying
Buddy tell him I was flying
You know I don't want your
Cold iron shackles
Around my leg
Around my leg
I don't want
Your corn bread and molasses
Oh it hurts my pride
Hey it hurts my pride
He said roll it buddy
He said roll it easy
I said now I can't roll
It don't let the wheel go
I asked the captain
I asked him for the time of the day
The captain he got mad
He throwed his watch away
He said roll it buddy
Didn't I say roll it easy
How can I roll
The wheel don't go
Hey I asked the captain
For the time of the day

The captain he got mad
Shot my buddy dead
He said roll it buddy
I know you heard me say roll it easy
If you don't believe
That my buddy's dead
You take a look at that hole
In my buddy's head
He said roll roll on buddy
Roll roll roll on easy
Well I can't roll
Oh the wheel don't go
