Rolling Down
The river

Oh! I once was a rigger and I worked like hell
Rolling up. Rolling down
But now I'm sailing with the OCL
And go rolling down the river

Rolling up. Rolling down
We'll all get drunk in Cygnet town
Twenty four hours to turn around
And go rolling down the river

When first I saw a TEU
Rolling up. Rolling down
I wondered where they stowed the crew
And go rolling down the river

Rolling up. Rolling down
We'll all get drunk in Cygnet town
Twenty four hours to turn around
And go rolling down the river

Well cargo comes in TEUs
Rolling up. Rolling down
A 20 foot box, boys, filled with booze
And go rolling down the river

Rolling up. Rolling down
We'll all get drunk in Cygnet town
Twenty four hours to turn around
And go rolling down the river

There's a Cygnet girl called Kettle Jane
Rolling up. Rolling down
First on the boil then off again
And go rolling down the river

Rolling up. Rolling down
We'll all get drunk in Cygnet town
Twenty four hours to turn around
And go rolling down the river

She's got a mate called Teapot Anne
Rolling up. Rolling down
She gets well brewed. She likes a man
And go rolling down the river

Rolling up. Rolling down
We'll all get drunk in Cygnet town
Twenty four hours to turn around
And go rolling down the river

Cygnet girls go round in pairs
Rolling up. Rolling down
You’ll never catch them unawares
And go rolling down the river

Rolling up. Rolling down
We'll all get drunk in Cygnet town
Twenty four hours to turn around
And go rolling down the river

Down on the dock where the work is done
Rolling up. Rolling down
You can pick 'em up boys one by one
And go rolling down the river

Rolling up. Rolling down
We'll all get drunk in Cygnet town
Twenty four hours to turn around
And go rolling down the river

Well, we're the boys to sail ‘em through
Rolling up. Rolling down
To hell the Channel and the TEU
And go rolling down the river

Rolling up. Rolling down
We'll all get drunk in Cygnet town
Twenty four hours to turn around
And go rolling down the river
