  • I'm in the forest and it's darkest night
    An old moon is rising bright
    My black horse and mask pulled up tight
    Loaded pistol it'll be alright

    The third son of a heartless lord
    Thrown down alone all in this world
    I fell in love with a galley girl
    Take this carriage and I'll marry her

    And we're rollin' rollin' rollin' home
    Yeah we'll be rollin' and we're rollin' home
    Rollin' rollin' rollin' home
    Yeah we're rollin' and we're rollin' home

    I don't carry me too much hope
    One step ahead of a cruel king's rope
    I'll be delivered on the deck of that boat
    Me and my true love to the new world go

    And we'll be rollin' rollin' rollin' home
    Yeah we're rollin' and we're rollin' home
    Rollin' rollin' rollin' home
    Yeah we're rollin' and we're rollin' home

    Oh is that true love meant for me
    And will a kiss be sanctuary?
    And for love are we meant to pray
    Will a true love's knot carry us
    Will these new lengths wash our sins away?

    And we're rollin' rollin' rollin' home
    Yeah we'll be rollin' and we're rollin' home
    Rollin' rollin' rollin' home
    Yeah we'll be rollin' and we're rollin' home
    Yeah we're rollin' and we're rollin' home Writer/s: Richard Hawley
