	Sir Frankie Crisp was a former resident of the house George Harrison moved into, and this fellow apparently left several epithets or proverbs in various places on this estate, inspiring this song and, later on, the song "Ding Dong Ding Dong". "Let it Roll" makes for a very 1970's (in a positive sense) laid-back homespun philosophy that guys like Jimmy Buffett and Jesse Winchester were to make a career out of.

Lyrics

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
