But when I call this roll, please Lord
So come on and go down Emanuel Road, man and boy
I don't want to miss a soul
But man you just begun
And some of your heads are tight
Well, you had a big time last night
So get up and go down Emanuel Road, man and boy
You gotta break dem two by two
You get another shilling in you pay
Wake up and go down Emanuel Road, man and boy
'Cause from sun to sun you gotta stick
Well, I tell you man, if you good
Got to break that stone
Go down Emanuel Road, man and boy
An' the sleep still in you eye
You better make dem hammers ring
Go down Emanuel Road, man and boy
To night you better let them women rest
Got to break that stone
I want you to do your best
Well, the moon still in the sky
Go down Emanuel Road, man and boy
Got to break that stone
Got to break that stone
And don't tell me 'bout you sick
Go down Emanuel Road, man and boy
You better chop dat stone like wood
So you can get up and go down Emanuel Road, man and boy
Then tomorrow gonna be a big day
But when you hear me sing
Got to break that stone
Got to break that stone
Got to break that stone
Got to break that stone
When you break dem one by one
Go down Emanuel Road, man and boy
'Cause today, I tell you something new
