Chorus
Rolling up, rolling down
We'll all get drunk in Tilbury
town
Twenty four hours to
turn around
And go rolling down the
river
When first I saw a TEU
Rolling up, rolling down
I wondered where they stole the crew
To go rolling down the river
Chorus
There's a Tilbury girl called Kettle Jane
Rolling up, rolling down
First on the boil, then off again
She goes rolling down the river
Chorus
She's got a mate called Teapot Anne
Rolling up, rolling down
She gets well brewed, she likes a man
To go rolling down the river
Chorus
By the dockside gate when the work is done
Rolling up, rolling down
You can pick 'em boys one by one
And go rolling down the river
Chorus
But we're the boys to see them through
Rolling up, rolling down
To hell with the Channel and the TEUs
Let's roll down the river
Chorus
