Roll on the ground, boys, roll on the ground
Roll on the ground, boys, roll on the ground
Work on the railroad, sleep on the ground
Eat soddy crackers, ten cents a pound
* Refrain
Work on the railroad, work all the day
Eat soddy crackers, wind blow 'em away
* Refrain
My love's in jail boys, my love's in jail
My love's in jail boys, who'll go her bail
* Refrain
Let's have a party, let's have a time
Let's have party on only a dime
* Refain
You shake it here, Babe, you shake ti there
You come with me, Babe, we'll go upstaires
* Refrain
Roll over easy, don't mind the strain
Roll over easy, we'll go again
* Refrain
Make the girls love you, teach them to stay
Love them with passion, then go away
* Refrain
