ROLLIN' HOME
(Hill / De Rose)
as recorded by Lew Stone & his Orchestra
(Vocal - Al Bowlly)
August 1st 1934 London
ROLLING home,
Rolling home
To the harbour where storms blow no more.
Shed no tears
As I steer
Towards the lights of the last distant shore.
Let me hear once more
The song of the seven seas
I used to roam.
Let me hear once more
The bells on the evening breeze
Calling me home,
Calling me home.
Breakers sigh,
Seem to cry
A sailor's last goodbye,
Rolling home! [ends]
