[Verse 1]
Roland was a warrior
From the Land of the Midnight Sun
With a Thompson gun for hire
Fighting to be done
The deal was made in Denmark
On a dark and stormy day
So he set out for Biafra
To join the bloody fray
[Verse 2]
Through '66 and 7
They fought the Congo war
With their fingers on their triggers
Knee-deep in gore
For days and nights, they battled
The Bantu to their knees
They killed to earn their living
And to help out the Congolese
[Chorus]
Roland the Thompson gunner
Roland the Thompson gunner
[Verse 3]
His comrades fought beside him
Van Owen and the rest
But of all the Thompson gunners
Roland was the best
So the CIA decided
They wanted Roland dead
That son-of-a-bitch Van Owen
Blew off Roland's head
Roland was a warrior
From the Land of the Midnight Sun
With a Thompson gun for hire
Fighting to be done
The deal was made in Denmark
On a dark and stormy day
So he set out for Biafra
To join the bloody fray
[Verse 2]
Through '66 and 7
They fought the Congo war
With their fingers on their triggers
Knee-deep in gore
For days and nights, they battled
The Bantu to their knees
They killed to earn their living
And to help out the Congolese
[Chorus]
Roland the Thompson gunner
Roland the Thompson gunner
[Verse 3]
His comrades fought beside him
Van Owen and the rest
But of all the Thompson gunners
Roland was the best
So the CIA decided
They wanted Roland dead
That son-of-a-bitch Van Owen
Blew off Roland's head
