Richard Thompson
Down Where the Drunkards Roll (Live)
[Verse 1]
See the boys out walkin'
Oh, 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
[Verse 2]
See that lover standin'
Starin' at the ground
He was lookin' for the real thing
And lies were all he found
Oh, you can get the real thing
It will only cost a pound
Down where the drunkards roll
Down where the drunkards roll
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
There goes a troubled woman
She dreams a troubled dream
She lives out on the highway
And she keeps her money clean
Soon she'll be returnin'
To the place where she's the queen
Down where the drunkards roll
Down where the drunkards roll
[Verse 4]
Now, you can be a gambler
Who never drew a hand
And you can be a sailor
Who never left dry land
And you can be like Jesus
All the world will understand
Down where the drunkards roll
Down where the drunkards roll
[Guitar Solo]
