Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)

George Harrison

From the album All Things Must Pass 1970

Greenwood by scotto

The song is supposed to be about Sir Francis Crisp, and Friar Park

Let it roll across the floor

Through the hall and out the door

To the fountain of perpetual mirth

Let it roll for all it's worth

Find me where ye echo lays

Lose ye bodies in the maze

See the lord and all the mouths he feeds

Let it roll among the weeds

Let it roll

Let it roll down through the caves

Ye long walks of Coole and Shades

Through ye woode, here may ye rest awhile

Handkerchiefs to match your tie

Let it roll

Let it roll, let it roll

Let it roll, let it roll

Fools illusions everywhere

Joan and Molly sweep the stairs

Eyes that shining full of inner light

Let it roll into the night

Let it roll, let it roll

Let it roll, let it roll

Let it roll, let it roll

Alternative version

Let it roll across the bog,
Through the hole and out the door
Through the fountain of perpetual
Let it roll for all it's worth

Frankie Crisp, he had no legs
Lose your body in the maze
See the door to the northern bounty feast
Let it roll among the weeds
Let it roll

Let it roll out through the caves
Through the walks and through the shade
Through the good one, may he rest awhile
Hanging chiefs and matching time
Let it roll

Let it roll, Let it roll
Let it roll, Let it roll

Fool's illusions every word
John and Paul, they sweep the stern
Eyes are shining but a river lies
Let it roll into the night

Let it roll, Let it roll
Let it roll, Let it roll
