+. Round goes the wheel of fortune, don't be afraid to ride
+There's a land of milk and honey waits on the other side
+There'll be peace and there'll be plenty, you'll never need to roam
+When we go rolling home, when we go rolling home
+**Chorus:**
+//Rolling home, when we go rolling home
+When we go rolling, rolling, when we go rolling home//
+. The gentry in their fine array do prosper night and morn
+While we unto the fields must go to plough and sow the corn
+The rich may steal the power, but the glory is our own
+When we go rolling home, when we go rolling home
+[Chorus]
+. The frost is on the hedgerow, the icy winds do blow
+While we poor weary labourers strive through the driving snow
+Our hopes fly up to glory, up where the lark has flown
+When we go rolling home, when we go rolling home
+[Chorus]
+. The summer of resentment, the winter of despair
+The journey to contentment is set with trap and snare
+Stand to and stand together, your labour is your own
+When we go rolling home, when we go rolling home
+[Chorus]
+. So pass the bottle round and let the toast go free
+Here's a health to every labourer wherever they may be
+Fair wages are now and ever, let's reap what we have sown
+When we go rolling home, when we go rolling home
+[Chorus]
