Down Where The Drunkards Roll Lyrics - Richard & Linda Thompson

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
