Roll the Woodpile Down
Way down south where the cocks do crow
Way down in Florida!
Them girls, they'll heave on your old banjo.
And we'll roll the woodpile down.
Chorus:
Rollin', rollin',
Rollin' the whole world round,
That brown gal of mine's on the Georgia line
And we'll roll the woodpile down.
It's a downeast ship with a downeast crew
Way down in Florida!
Downeast mate and skipper too.
And we'll roll the woodpile down.
Chorus
Curly sails on the old Rantan,
Way down in Florida!
Curly, he's just a downeast man.
And we'll roll the woodpile down.
Chorus
My aunt Dinah she had a farm
Way down in Florida!
And if you'd go there you could do no harm.
And we'll roll the woodpile down.
Chorus
When I was a young man in my prime
Way down in Florida!
I'd waltz them yellow girls two at a time.
And we'll roll the woodpile down.
Chorus
Heave 'em aloft and heave 'em low,
Way down in Florida!
We'll bust the blocks and away we'll go.
And we'll roll the woodpile down.
Chorus
It's one more pull boys and that will do.
Way down in Florida!
We're the bullies to kick her on through.
And we'll roll the woodpile down.
Chorus
