[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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Let it roll

(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 woode, here may ye rest awhile
Handkerchiefs to match your tie

[Chorus]
Let it roll

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

[Verse 4]
Fools illusions everywhere
Joan and Molly sweeps the stairs
Eyes are shining full of inner light
Let it roll into the night

[Outro]
(Sir Frankie Crisp
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp
Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp) Let it roll
(Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp) Let it roll, let it roll
(Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp) Let it roll, let it roll
(Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp) Let it roll, let it roll
(Oh, Sir Frankie Crisp)

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.”
