Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder comes my darlin'
Comin' down the line
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder comes my darlin'
She comin' down the line

Judy got a gun
She was livin' on the run
And there she goes
Oh, now she's downtown out of time
And Judy's found a man
He was the leader of a band
And he took the roads
Buddy better roll on down the line

Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder comes my darlin'
Comin' down the line
Oh, buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder comes my darlin'
She comin' down the line

One more time around
And it's time to leave this town
Go to Mexico
You know it's hanging right behind
One more man to trash
Just one more check to cash
That's all you know
Buddy better get on down the line

Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder comes my darlin'
Comin' down the line
Oh, buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Oh, buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder comes my darlin'
She comin' down the line

Oh, you never had a plan
Oh, it fell right in your hand
Then it turned to stone, oh
Playin' down the silver line
Now all the money's gone
And the man who wrote the song
Said "Pack and go"
Buddy better roll on down the line

Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder comes my darlin'
Comin' down the line
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder comes my darlin'
She comin' down the line

Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder comes my darlin'
Comin' down the line
Buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Oh, buddy, won't you roll down the line?
Yonder comes my darlin'
Comin' down the line

Review written by The Old Folkie, July 25th, 2012

This is perhaps the best song on this Reynolds-Stewart album. The driving sound and great lyrics really moves the listener.
