Galley Girl
I'm in the forest and it's darkest night
An old moon is risin' 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 this true love meant for me?
And will at least 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
An old moon is risin' 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 this true love meant for me?
And will at least 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
