| lyric | 1. Oh, roll the cotton, roll me, boys,
roll the cotton down!
Oh, roll the cotton, roll me, boys,
roll the cotton down!
2. When I was young and in my prime,
I thougth I’d join the Black Ball Line.
3. In the Black Ball Line you can cut a big shine,
In the Black Ball Line you can cut a big shine.
4. There are tinkers and tailors, shoemakers an all,
They’re all shanhaied on board the Black Ball. |
