Album: Trail In Life (2010)

Roll That Barrel Out

We say Deo, Deo, Deo
Roll that barrel out
We say Deo, Deo
Twist the tap and pass it around

He owns a Graddel by banyan tree
And old Jamacia called the ocean breeze
His face is kind as it is creased
From tossin nets off an old boat bow.
But all Jamal is a mariners son
Will tell you where the ships would run
And if your down there askin to pour ya one
And you'll hear that sailor shout

[Chorus]
He'll say Deo, Deo, Deo
Roll that barrel out
He'll say Deo Deo
Twist the tap and pass it around

His mama told him when he was young
you work the fields till you grow up
while she tapped the barrels and the cantina
the soldier boys passing by

His big brown eyes and little feet
For years they were at the coco bean
But he'd have visions of pirates when he would fall asleep
And they sang him this lullaby,

[Chorus]
He'll say Deo, Deo, Deo
Roll that barrel out
He'll say Deo Deo
Twist the tap and pass it around
Hey hey!

We met Jamal when we arrived
He told a story round a fire last night,
You shoulda seen that beach come alive
When he sang his island song
Yeah and we all sang along

[Chorus]
We'll say Deo, Deo, Deo
Roll that barrel out
We'll say Deo Deo
Twist the tap and pass it around
Twist the tap and pass it around
Twist the tap and pass it around
