Just a roll, just a roll
Just a roll on your drum
Just a roll, just a roll
And the war has begunNow the right thing's the wrong thing
No more excuses to come
Just one step at a time
And the war has begunJust a roll, just a roll
Just a roll on your drum
Just a roll, just a roll
And the war has begunShe's run away, she's run away
And she ran so bitterly
Now call to your colors, friend
Don't you call to meJust a roll, just a roll
Just a roll on your drum
Just a roll, just a roll
And the war has begunDon't you cry, don't you cry
Don't you cry upon the sea
Don't you cry, don't you cry
For your lady and meJust a roll, just a roll
Just a roll on your drum
Just a roll, just a roll
And the war has begunJust a roll, just a roll
Just a roll on your drum
Just a roll, just a roll
And the war has begun
