Give My Love to Rose

I left my home one day

For the sake of better pay

In a foreign land 12 centuries back in time

Where the sun keeps burning down

On the hole drilled in the ground

And I dream of that girl I left behind

Well I signed on the dotted line

And I thought in a few years time

we'd be home, we could start a brand new life

But everything went wrong

I just didn't know how long

They would take each day a day before my time

I wish I was a rollin' home, rollin' home

Home to the place I long to be

Oh, oh, oh, rollin' home, rollin' home

There's someone waiting there for me

Instrumental

There's a law that rules this land

and I just didn't understand

I didn't know that I was doing wrong

there's a consolation prize

and then I close my eyes

I'm dreamin' of that girl I left behind

I wish I was a rollin' home, rollin' home

Home to the place I long to be

Oh, oh, oh, rollin' home, rollin' home

There's someone waiting there for me

Instrumental

All the money that I've saved

To pay for better days

can't make up for how I miss you so

There's a consolation prize

and then I close my eyes

I'm dreaming of that girl I've left behind

I wish I was a rollin' home, rollin' home

Home to the place I long to be

Oh, oh, oh, rollin' home, rollin' home

There's someone waiting there for me

I wish I was a rollin' home, rollin' home

Home to the place I long to be

Oh, oh, oh, rollin' home, rollin' home

There's someone waiting there for me
