Sandy Denny - Down Where The Drunkards Roll lyrics

rate me

See the boys out walking

The boys 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 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.
