Lyrics
- I’ve got sixpence: jolly, jolly sixpence
I’ve got sixpence to last me all my life
I’ve got tuppence to spend
I’ve got tuppence to lend
And tuppence to send home to my wife, poor wife
No cares have I to grieve me
No pretty little girl to deceive me
I’m happy as a lark, believe me
As we go rolling rolling home
Refrain
Rolling home (rolling home)
Rolling home (rolling home)
By the light of the sil-ver-y moo-oo-oon
Happy is the day when we line up for our pay
As we go rolling rolling home
- I’ve got fourpence
Jolly, jolly fourpence
I’ve got fourpence to last me all my life
I’ve got tuppence to spend
And tuppence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife, poor wife
No cares have I to grieve me
No pretty little girl to deceive me
I’m happy as a lark, believe me
As we go rolling rolling home - I’ve got tuppence
Jolly, jolly tuppence
I’ve got tuppence to last me all my life
I’ve got tuppence to spend
And no pence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife, poor wife
No cares have I to grieve me
No pretty little girl to deceive me
I’m happy as a lark, believe me
As we go rolling rolling home - I’ve got no pence
Jolly. jolly no pence
I’ve got no pence to last me all my life
I’ve got no pence to spend
And no pence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife, poor wife
No cares have I to grieve me
No pretty little girl to deceive me
I’m happy as a lark, believe me
As we go rolling rolling home
