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 frayThrough 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 CongoleseRoland the Thompson gunner Roland the Thompson gunnerHis comrades fought beside him, Van Owen and the rest But of all the Thompson gunners, Roland was the best So the C I A decided they wanted Roland dead That son-of-a-bitch Van Owen blew off Roland's headRoland the headless Thompson gunner, Norway's bravest son They can still see his headless body stalking through the night In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gunRoland searched the continent for the man who'd done him in He found him in Mombasa in a bar-room drinking gin Roland aimed his Thompson gun he didn't say a word But he blew Van Owen's body from there to JohannesburgRoland the headless Thompson gunner Roland the headless Thompson gunner Roland the headless Thompson gunner Talkin' about the man, Roland the headless Thompson gunnerThe eternal Thompson gunner still wandering through the night Now it's ten years later but he still keeps up the fight In Ireland, in Lebanon, in Palestine and Berkeley Patty Hearst heard the burst of Roland's Thompson gun and bought it
