Roll Away

There were no tears on my departing
Railway line and ocean liner
Only the sound of the soldiers marching
Roll away, sail away
Far away from mine
There is a place where they will take us
Railway line and ocean liner
There is a place where we don't need papers
Roll away, sail away
Far away, far away
Far away from mine
Brother who am I
The tenement town that houses many
Railway line and ocean liner
It never will be a home to any
Roll away, sail away,
Far away, far away
I took a job, I took a lover
Railway line and ocean liner
It was she and I and ten thousand others
Roll away, sail away
Far away, far away
Far away from mine
Lover who am i
Seven years I left you lonely
Railway line and ocean liner
If I come back home, would you even know me
Roll away, sail away
Far away, far away
Roll away, sail away
Far away from mine
