The Levellers - The Ballad Of Robbie Jones lyrics

Your rating:


There was Robbie Jones

He used to walk so tall 

You know he'd hurt no one at all 

Chased the girls around the world 

Danced them round the dance halls 

We'd have a drink and then he'd sink 

Into nostalgic talk 

We carried him home in the fallen snow 

When he was too drunk to walk 

Then came the day 

We were sent away 

We got our papers 

Posted trough the door 

And sent off to war 

Dear old Tom 

He'd sing a song and he'd play the guitar 

He'd tell you all the stories 

Of his travels near and far 

Signed up one day to learn a trade

But that dream didn't go far 

He'd be fighting Argentinians 

With his gun not his guitar 

He used to walk so tall 

You know he'd hurt no one at all 

Chased the girls around the world 

Danced them round the dance halls 

We'd have a drink and then he'd sink 

Into nostalgic talk 

We carried him home in the fallen snow 

When he was too drunk to walk 



Then came the day 

We were sent away 

We got our papers 

Posted trough the door 

And sent off to war 



Dear old Tom 

He'd sing a song and he'd play the guitar 

He'd tell you all the stories 

Of his travels near and far 

Signed up one day to learn a trade 

But that dream didn't go far 

He'd be fighting Argentinians 

With his gun not his guitar
