^GSee the boys out walking The ^Cboys who look so ^Gfine ^CDressed up in green ^Gvelvet ^CTheir silver buckles ^Gshine ^GSoon they'll be bleary-eyed ^DUnder a keg of ^Cwine

CHORUS

^C/GDown where the drunkards ^Droll ^C/GDown where the drunkards ^Droll

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 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 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

Richard Thompson - Down where the drunkards roll
