Released: November 27, 1970

Songwriter: George Harrison

Producer: George Harrison

[Intro]
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Now let it roll
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp

[Verse 2]
Find me where ye echo lays
Lose ye bodies in the maze
Leper's squint, abode of prancing steed
Now let it roll among the weeds

[Chorus]
Now let it roll
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp

[Verse 3]
Let it roll down through the caves
Ye long walks of Coole and Shades
Through ye woodе, here may ye rеst awhile
Cool retreats will make you smile

[Chorus]
Now let it roll
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp

[Verse 4]
Fools' illusions everywhere
Gobbling friars at your stair
Even though it is such a harrowing sight
Now let it roll into the night

[Chorus]
Now let it roll
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp

George Harrison

If George Harrison were merely remembered for his involvement in The Beatles, his legacy would be solidified as one of rock’s greatest names. Along with staging the world’s first benefit concert where major artists performed together for humanitarian relief, introducing pop culture to classical Indian music and gaining three #1 singles as a solo artist, he was also a film producer and an avid gardener.

In 1957, he met a young Paul McCartney on a bus they both took to school. McCartney then introduced him to John Lennon to audition for his skiffle group, the Quarrymen. Lennon originally rejected Harrison as he thought he was too young to be the band, having just turned 15. Harrison eventually impressed Lennon with his guitar skills and was accepted as a member of the group.

During his time with The Beatles, Harrison was the lead guitarist, one of the singers, and contributed many songs such as “Taxman,” “Within You Without You,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Here Comes the Sun” and “Something.”
