Golden Hind Music says: “We admit to responsibility for The Rolling Mills of New Jersey. Matt McGinn wrote The Rolling Hills of the Border. This is not that.”
Roberts & Barrand: The Rolling Mills of New Jersey

Chorus When I die, bury me low Where I can hear the petroleum flow. A sweeter sound, I never did know The rolling mills of New Jersey. Down in Trenton, there is a bar The bums, they come from near and from far They come by truck, they come by car The lousy bums of New Jersey Down in Hoboken, there will be Garbage as far as the eye can see. There’s garbage for you, there’s garbage for me. The garbage dumps of New Jersey. When at last, I decided to roam, Far away from my home in Bayonne. I sat down, and wrote this poem. I wrote an ode to New Jersey.
