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
