Roll River Roll

Now all my friends are gone
 Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
 That's okay, yeah that's alright
 But hurry on, daylight
 I hear the song of the whip-poor-will
 The sun has come, the fox are chill
 Should I stay in Babylon
 Should I go and roll on-
 Roll river
 Roll to the sea
 I'm just a child, so show a little mercy
 Roll river, roll
 With me
 All the bottles are empty
 River roll
 Now I think I'm ready
 River roll
 Now I think I'm ready
 Working in the cold ground
 I've got to bring that harvest home
 My stile glows just like a crown
 Now the hunter comes to cut me down
 Oh, blue heeler, where ya been
 Down at the gate with your violin
 Now who will help me sing my song
 The end is nigh, so roll on-
 Roll river
 Roll to the sea
 I'm just a child, so show a little mercy
 Roll river, roll
 With me
 All the bottles are empty
 Roll river roll
 R-E-S-C-U-E
 River roll
 Now I think I'm ready
