As I rolled out one morning
Away, you roller bowler!
As I rolled out one morning
I met a lady fair
[Chorus]
Timme, hey-rig-a-jig and a ha-ha
Good morning, ladies all
Away, you roller bowler!
Timme, hey-rig-a-jig and a ha-ha
Good morning, ladies all
The first time that I saw her
Away, you roller bowler!
The first time that I saw her
That saucy girl of mine:
[Chorus]
But when she found that I was skint
Away, you roller bowler!
But when she found that I was skint
She left me standing there
[Chorus]
I squared me yards and sailed away
Away, you roller bowler!
I squared me yards and sailed away
And to the ship I went
[Chorus]
She winked & flipped a flipper
Away, you roller bowler!
She winked & flipped a flipper
She thought I was a mate
[Chorus]
