See the boys out walking (G)
The boys they look so fine (D7, G)
Dressed up in green velvet (C, G)

Their silver buckles shine (C, G)
Soon they'll be bleary-eyed (G)
Under a keg of wine (D7, C)

Down where the drunkards roll (C, D7)
Down where the drunkards roll (C, D7)


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 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
