[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 sixty-six and seven
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
And 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 sixty-six and seven
They fought the Congo war
With their fingers on their triggers
Knee-deep in gore
For days and nights they battled

They killed to earn their living
And to help out the Congolese
[Chorus]
Roland the Thompson gunner
Roland the Thompson gunner

But of all the Thompson gunners
Roland was the best
So the CIA decided
They wanted Roland dead
And that son-of-a-bitch Van Owen
Blew off Roland's head
