Down where the drunkards roll

Richard Thompson

Composed by: Richard Thompson
See the boys out walking 
The boys, they look so fine 
Dressed up in green velvet 
Their silver buckles shine 
Soon they'll 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 
He's 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 she'll be returning 
To the place where she's 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
