Down Where the Drunkards Roll

Richard Thompson

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
I see that lover standing
Staring at the ground
He's looking for the real thing
Lies were all he found
Now you can get the real thing
It will only cost a pound
Down where the drunkards roll
Down where the drunkards roll

[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 returning to
The place where she's the queen
Down where the drunkards roll

[Verse 4]
Oh, you can be a gambler
And never draw a hand
You can be a sailor
And never leave dry land
You can be Lord Jesus
All the world will understand
Down where the drunkards roll
Oh, down where the drunkards roll

[Outro]
See the boys out walking
The boys they look so fine
Dressed up in green velvet
Their silver buckles shine
