OH we’ll leave our tired and weary homes And we’ll sail away across the foam Along the west wind's merry breeze To the land of pasties, scrump and cheese Into Brizzle station At quarter after four Straight up to the seven stars There's history in the rafters Sawdust on the floor And a sign above the bar Says "arr ooh arr, arr ooh ay, let's drink cider" Every day with fresh wind in our sails We’ll roll out on those ancient trails To the Dorset coast, in a cider shed We'll get completely off our heads Then it’s on to Buckfast Abbey Pay Devon our respects Electrified we'll jump into the car To a cottage out in Dartmoor We'll dance around the fire And swim out in the stars Cho: Arr ooh Arr Arr ooh Ay Let's drink Cider Every day And we will get what we desire And we will set the the night on fire To show the way Cider Holiday To a shanty sing in Boscastle The table’s set the Nap is full Grab a pint pull up a chair You won't believe what's waiting there For you know it’s smokey bastard And all the skimmity lads Seven verses into old maui And good old Jamer turnip A twinkle in his eye He turns and says to thee

Oh my name is ray from rodney And sure I'm here to tell ye The day we had a ring a ding ding The day I got my pilot wings LCBO, Drop the hammer down They call me Ray from Rodney, I am the liquor now I took a swig of liquor Feeling kinda dickered The boys they gave me courage So I took off with a flourish To hear the buggers tell it Sure I nearly lost my helmet The speed were something savage But I kept er out of the cabbage With my vision getting shifty I spilled me quart of 50 I hit the accelerator Sayin' ARR I'll lick 'er up later With another little tipple Sure I was gettin' gibbled The wind began to whistle And I took off like a missile So drop the flag and clock it I am the rodney Rocket I've never had such fun as I Had roaring up into the sky But nothing lasts forever And friends are friends no more That fine old redneck armchair Lies dickered on the floor The doctor says I gotta quit The cans and quarts of beer And so the journey forward Is looking pretty clear But when the nights are cold and dark And hours roll away I think of all the good times We had that winter's day So carve it on the marble boys When I am in the ground They call me ray from Rodney, I am the liquor now! So if ya wanna see me Just come on down to Rodney We'll have a grand old hullaballoo And when it's done I'll take ya to the

Problem 03:38
Hey You're riding out through the day You wanna drink on the way You wanna stand up and play But there's a problem You got a hole in the floor It’s from the second world war Frozen up to the core There’s a Drinkin whiskey for warmth At seven o clock in the morn As Damien leans on the horn You got a Just when you think you're away Just when you think it's OK You know what he's gonna say You head on into the night Past the river of lights You never pass on the right 'cause there's a Into the heart of the storm To where the devil was born The waters rising and warm There’s a This 'aint no plug and play They live like this every day Don't fucking get in the way Of the So get your final release Up in the belly of the beast Young man, go East Nie mój cyrk. Nie moje małpy Nie mój cyrk. Nie moje małpy Fajka, Laska, piwo, kapusta say it again, Zajebiście kurwa! GO Into the morning snow At 27 below With all the spirits that flow In your veins that still know History never lies Turn your back to the sky To the sky To the sky

Prick your finger it is done Turn your face into the sun Roll er out and spread her wings The time has come for better things Down to Brisbane Harbour Face the cold and bitter spray Strain yer muscles pine away For the day we go ashore To see the faces we adore Right down in Brisbane Harbour Jump up! Jack! Get down! Heave away ya capstan bullies All aboard the flying Jenny Down to Brisbane Harbour Liza fair and judy lee Balancing upon your knee Gin and whiskey flowing free A gentle breeze from off the sea right Down in Brisbane Harbour But boys I know you are aware Queensland girls are fierce and fair That pretty hand upon your knee Could be the last thing that you see In good old Brisbane Harbour Leviathan was on the deep Around us nightly he would creep Rose up like a bugaboo And smashed a gunwale clean in two Down to Brisbane Harbour Huxley got him on his side Dragged him round upon the tide But he snatched up clean away And lived to prowl another day Down to Brisbane harbour Coral sea is rolling strong West wind batters us along When upon the morning light Fair Moreton island hoves in sight Down to Brisbane Harbour Eleven weeks from Plymouth town To the horn and straight around But neither wind nor rolling tide Can match the danger here inside Of Good Old Brisbane Harbour

Say the name, Walking the sky And we'll never know the reason why Eight men on a Battleford wall Sing to the sun as the trap doors fall Free, just like a red winged blackbird Free, just like a red winged blackbird Wandering spirit took his shot Tom Quinn deserved all the lead he got Little Bear and Miserable Man Standing guard over sacred land Free, just like a red winged blackbird Free, just like a red winged blackbird Eight dead by the red sunset But they won't back down And they won't forget To the shame of powerful men Ol’ Whiskey Jack's gonna rise again

The Storm 03:49
Safe under covers tonight, faces happy and bright There by the old fire light it is warm But we are the darkening clouds, we are the gathering swarm We are, We are the Storm You built your towers On backbroken bowery sailors On mothers and fathers Still howling for their second-born We took the keys from your jailor His body is festering torn We are, we are The Storm These bodies came out of the soil, Ripped out of gypsum and oil All just yours to spoil, and deform But now this old galleon rolls, galloping straight round the horn We are, we are The Storm So it's haul away comrades, ropes over blistering shoulders As the wind shakes the barley and howls on straight through the corn There'll be no forgiveness tonight, only fair Zillah's red thorn For We are, We are The Storm So it's haul away comrades, ropes over blistering shoulders As the wind shakes the barley, and howls on straight through the corn And we aren't gonna STOP, till we are satisfied soldier Rich men, big men, fattened up, happy, reborn And so the wheel comes round again And we’re safe by the fire so warm We are, we are The storm

At the Raceway Park in Toledo In the summer of '74 Billy k said I didn't have it in me So I marched right across the floor And the band played who stole the keeshka And your emerald eyes shone bright And with a wink to Billy K I turned to you to say Hey Vicki, let's polka tonight Do you remember Brighton Beach hot dogs? Do you remember the Rhode Island Reds? Do you remember that night at Kochanski's When they put a golden crown on your head We saw Frankie in old Cincinnati Under those big blue lights And when your skies were grey I'd turn to you to say Hey Vicki, let's polka tonight (c'mon girl!) And the years rolled on so sweetly But the music around us changed And when our kids felt sad and lonely I said you've only that music to blame Because fashions rise and fall, dear But polka will never die And soon enough we knew They'd stand in front of you Saying vicki, let's polka tonight Then came the year of our lord 2020 We didn't know it would happen so soon They wouldn't let me say goodbye to you They wouldn't even let me into the room But now my days are nearly over And I'm heading for those pearly lights I'll know I'm IN the proper place When I SEE your pretty face hey Vicki, let's polka tonight

Scrumpy-O 03:34
Sit yourself down at the base of the tree Join a tradition that's older than you and me Than you and me Come on and pass round the two handled mug Poured from the depths of the sacred Little brown jug Little brown jug Will you fill your pint? Will you claim your right? Will you keep up the fight? To the diamonds and pearls To the flag unfurled To the End of the world A sisterhood bold and a brotherhood true We don't need nothing at all From the corporate blue From the corporate blue Let 'em drink up their sweet Penitentiary wine 'Aint no industrial shit in this love of mine This love of mine Will you fill your pint? Will you claim your right? Will you keep up the fight? To the diamonds and pearls To the flag unfurled To the End of the world So lay down the rest and Join up the crew Hark to the sound of the old Gods calling you They're calling you

Dusty Ground 03:09
The dogs are moaning low The moon is in the sky The bay-by in his bed Gives a little cry He knows the dirty secret We never pass around We're all just water on the dusty ground The sky’s a burning crimson From fires in the west The rich man's running for The isles of the blessed As Jimmy fells the timber That never makes a sound We're all just water on the dusty ground Tulloo! tullay! The reaper's on the way! He's sitting in the corner, he's coming out to play Nobody gives a toss, so stand your final round We're all just water on the dusty ground There's children blown to pieces By madmen in the sky And warlords gathering With deserts in their eyes Jesus may be sacred But the devil is profound We're all just water on the dusty ground When the day is over That's Jimmy at the bar Drowning sorrows In his meagre little jar Recalls the little secret We never pass around We're all just water on the dusty ground The farmer at the soil The soldier one the line The lovesick jerry singing Darling clementine The lady in the country The courtesan in town They're all just water on the dusty ground

Roll and Go 03:41
The shadows play upon us The candle flickers free Oh brothers, hear me now So when you're drawn and wasted upon The wretched sea Will you wish that you were back behind the plough? We are the 47 Who sail in the morn Oh brothers hear me now So gather round beside me And face towards the horn And listen for that far off distant sound And through the night, The thunder rolls The dimmest light, Down in our souls The final draw, From the flowing bowl Come the dawn, We Roll and Go Now this 'aint the finest brandy This ain't Lord Burton's Gin Oh brothers hear me now But it soothes the restless spirit Who never may again Feel himself upon the solid ground There is a desperate fire That keeps us all awake Oh brothers hear me now But we all know there's Only so much more of this to take Before the sun arises off the bow Hear me now So to the 47 And to the rolling blue Oh, Brothers heave away I've never known a finer bunch Of bully lads than you And we'll be back some fine and lucky day

As a band, The Dreadnoughts have been under serious strain: they live in different parts of the world, their jobs and families have taken them away from the music, and of course COVID-19 made any and all in-person interaction impossible. And, let’s be real, their livers are not what they used to be. Under the stress of constant isolation and fatigue, they decided to craft an album that stands as a big, giant middle finger to all of it, a defiant re-assertion of everything they stand for. These are punked up polkas, waltzes, irish jigs, klezmer dances and sea shanties, all absolutely drenched in alcohol and delivered with an angry, defiant scream.

“Cider Holiday”, the first single, hearkens back to Flogging Molly’s finest material. It’s a celtic-punk’s tribute to the finest real farmhouse cider in the world, an extended meditation on the joys of exploration and booze.

After ducking and weaving through countless travel restrictions, the Dreadnoughts managed to converge at Factory Underground Studios in Norwalk, Connecticut, USA, to learn, record and mix an entire album in nine days. We’ll say that again: nine days. It was a harrowing, intense experience, one made even more intense by the fact that six guest musicians were recording their own parts in six different cities around the world, and that all of this had to be coordinated with virtually no time. But they got it done. The result is Roll and Go: the Dreadnoughts fifth, and possibly finest, studio album.
