Roll the Old Chariot Along
(Roud 3632, arrang. J. Ferguson, 2021)

V1.
Oh, we’d be all right if we make it 'round the Horn.
We’d be all right if we make it 'round the Horn.
We’d be all right if we make it 'round the Horn,
and we'll all hang on behind.

Chorus:
And we will roll the old chariot along.
We'll roll the old chariot along.
We'll roll the old chariot along,
and we'll all hang on behind.

V2.
Oh, we’d be all right if the wind was in our sails, etc.

V3.
Oh, a drop of Nelson's blood wouldn't do us any harm, etc.

V4.
Oh, a pot of Irish stew wouldn't do us any harm, etc.
