Roll the Old Chariot Along

A plate of Irish stew wouldn't do us any harm,
A plate of Irish stew wouldn't do us any harm,
A plate of Irish stew wouldn't do us any harm.
And we'll all hang on behind.

Chorus:
And we'll roll the old chariot along,
And we'll roll the old chariot along,
And we'll roll the old chariot along,
And we'll all hang on behind!

A nice night in jail wouldn't do us any harm,
A nice night in jail wouldn't do us any harm,
A nice night in jail wouldn't do us any harm.
And we'll all hang on behind.

Chorus

A night with the girls wouldn't do us any harm,
A night with the girls wouldn't do us any harm,
A night with the girls wouldn't do us any harm.
And we'll all hang on behind.

Chorus

A roll in the clover wouldn't do us any harm,
A roll in the clover wouldn't do us any harm,
A roll in the clover wouldn't do us any harm.
And we'll all hang on behind.

Chorus

We'll be all right when the mate is in his grave,
We'll be all right when the mate is in his grave,
We'll be all right when the mate is in his grave.
And we'll all hang on behind.

Chorus
