I've Got to Roll

Ham and eggs, Lord, pork and beans,
Well I'd et more, but the cook was so mean

cho: I got to roll, roll in a hurry,
     Make it on the side of the road.

If I'd' a-knowed my cap'n was mean,
I never woulda left St. Augustine.

If I'd a-knowed my cap'n was blind,
I wouldn't' a-went to work till half past nine.

If I'd a-knowed my cap'n was bad,
I wouldn't a-sold that special that I once did had.

If I'd a-had my weight in lime
I woulda whupped that cap'n till he went stone blind.
