Hangdog Hotel Room Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

I go in for singing, I do it for my pay 

But the kind of gig I can really dig is swiggin' at the break of day 

With a few good friends and neighbors into playin' the nighttime tunes 

So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room 

Oh, Lord, it feels so good to play a nighttime tune 

So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room 

I believe in magic, a little monkeyshines 

But the kind of row I can really hoe is playin' in tune on time 

With rhythms all around us we're like weavers at the loom 

So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room 

Oh, Lord, it feels so good to play a nighttime tune 

So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room 

When it comes to mornin' and goin' out at night 

Well, the kind of test that I like the best is training the wrong girl right 

And a few good friends and neighbors in to playin' the nighttime tunes 

So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room 

Oh, Lord, it feels so good to play a nighttime tune 

So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room 

With rhythms all around us we're like weavers at the loom 

So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room
