Richard Thompson - Down where the drunkards roll

See the boys out walking The boys, they look so fine Dressed up in green velvet Their silver buckles shine Soon theyll be bleary eyed Under a keg of wine Down where the drunkards roll Down where the drunkards roll See that lover standing Staring at the ground Hes looking for the real thing Lies were all he found You can get the real thing It will only cost a pound Down where the drunkards roll Down where the drunkards roll There goes a troubled woman She dreams a troubled dream She lives out on the highway She keeps her money clean Soon shell be returning To the place where shes the queen Down where the drunkards roll Down where the drunkards roll You can be a gambler Who never drew a hand You can be a sailor Who never left dry land You can be Lord Jesus All the world will understand Down where the drunkards roll Down where the drunkards roll
