Roll Out The Barrel

When I was a lad
Growing in my grandmother's garden
I would tumble down to the wood
And go twisting deep through the lines
I would smell the fading summer
And I would know that I am young
Then I would hear them say

"Roll out the barrel
Roll out the barrel
The first tree is turning
And autumn is nigh"

Come on in it's time to eat
Climb down now from that branch
There's a bird resting in its leaves
You'll frighten it out of its' dreams
Your mother and father will be here soon
And I told them that you'd be asleep
Then I would hear them say

"Roll out the barrel
Roll out the barrel
The first tree is turning
And autumn is nigh"

And with the moon
Rabbits run
Padding feet on the landing
Carry me back
To bed
Then I would hear them say

"Roll out the barrel
Roll out the barrel
Roll out the barrel
Roll out the barrel
The first tree is turning
And autumn is nigh"
