About

This song sounds like an old slavery work song, or possibly a recounting of a tale about a slave worker, and how they were mistreated.

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
