00:00Hey, mister, can you use an old folk singer?
00:10Hey, would your patrons like some old-time song?
00:17Could they use a touch of jazz or blues?
00:23No, I'm sorry, I don't play no rock and roll.
00:29Oh, but I can make them cry to Molly Darling.
00:37Sing along to roll your boat ashore.
00:43I'll sing until the dawn when that crowd is gone.
00:49Mister, I'll be glad to sweep your floor.
00:54Hey, you should have been around in the scene back in the sixties.
01:00Oh, wasn't I a star there for a while?
01:07But then that scene messed up my head and I got strung out on reds.
01:14Hey, then that Bobby Dillon, he went and caught my style.
01:20Oh, but I can make them cry too sometimes.
01:24I feel like a motherless child.
01:27Oh, sing along to roll your boat ashore.
01:33That street life sure is fun when you're twenty-one.
01:39But hey, mister, I ain't twenty-one no more.
01:44So I just take the love of them that still remember.
01:52Take the help of them that care to give.
01:58Swap my songs for sandwiches and shelter.
02:03Hell, even a living legend's got to live.
02:09Oh, but I can make them cry to the bell of a dancing Dorian.
02:17And sing along to roll your boat ashore.
02:22I could roll your boat ashore.
02:26Hallelujah.
02:30I could roll your boat ashore.
02:35Hallelujah.
02:38You're making a liar out of me.
02:40I could roll your boat ashore.
02:44Hallelujah.
02:48I could roll your boat ashore.
02:53Hallelujah.
02:57I could roll that boat ashore.
03:01Hallelujah.
03:05I could roll that boat ashore.
03:09Hallelujah.
03:11Hallelujah.
03:13Thank you very much.
