Just a roll, just a roll

Just a roll on your drum

Just a roll, just a roll

And the war has begun



Now the right thing's the wrong thing

No more excuses to come

Just one step at a time

And the war has begun



Just a roll, just a roll

Just a roll on your drum

Just a roll, just a roll

And the war has begun



She's run away, she's run away

And she ran so bitterly

Now call to your colors, friend

Don't you call to me



Just a roll, just a roll

Just a roll on your drum

Just a roll, just a roll

And the war has begun



Don't you cry, don't you cry

Don't you cry upon the sea

Don't you cry, don't you cry

For your lady and me



Just a roll, just a roll

Just a roll on your drum

Just a roll, just a roll

And the war has begun



Just a roll, just a roll

Just a roll on your drum

Just a roll, just a roll

And the war has begun
