Down Where The Drunkards Roll
- (Words & music Richard Thompson)
See the boys marching, the boys all look so fine
Dressed up in green velvet, silver buckles shine
Soon they will be starry-eyed under a can of wine
Down where the drunkards roll
See the lover standing, staring at the ground
Searching 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
See the troubled woman, she dreams a troubled dream
She lives out on the highway, keeps her money clean
Soon she'll be returning to the place where she's a queen
Down where the drunkards roll
You can be a gambler who never drew a hand
You can be a sailor sailing on dry land
You can be the Lord Jesus, all the world will understand
Down where the drunkards roll
As sung by Iain MacKintosh
