I've got sixpence, jolly jolly sixpence,
I've got sixpence to last me all my life.
I've got tuppence to spend
and tuppence to lend and tuppence to
send home to my wife, poor wife.
No cares have I to bring thee
No pretty little girls to deceive thee
I'm happy as a king, believe me
As we go rollin', rollin' home
Rollin' home, rollin' rollin' home
By the light of the silvery moon
And he goes rollin', rollin' home
I've been workin' on the railroad
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away
Don't you hear the whistle blowin'
Rise up so early in the morn'
Don't you hear the captain
Dyna, won't you blow your horn?
Someone's in the kitchen, know
Someone's in the kitchen with
Strummin' on the old banjo
Oh, oh, oh, three, five, fiddle -dee -aye, oh,
strummin' on the old banjo.
That's where my money goes
Well, once she swirled her way
Say, boys, that's where my money goes,
She's got a pair of hips,
just like two battleships
Well, well, well, she wears silk underwear
Say, boys, that's where my money goes,
I've got no bets, jolly, jolly, no bets
I've got no bets to last me all my life
I've got no fence to spend
And no fence to send home
No cares have I to breed me
No pretty little girls to deceive me
I'm happy as a king, believe me
As we go rolling, rolling home
Rollin' home, rollin' home
By the light of the silvery moon
when a soldier gets his day
And he goes rollin', rollin' home
