See the boys out walking
The boys they look so fine
Dressed up in green velvet
Their silver buckles shine
Soon they will be bleary-eyed
Under a keg of wine
Down where the drunkards roll
Down where the drunkards roll
See the lover standing
He's lookin' at the ground
He's looking for the real thing
Lies were all he found
You can get the real thing
And it will only cost a pound
Down where the drunkards roll
Down where the drunkards roll
See the 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 could be a gambler
Who never drew a hand
And you could be a sailor
Who never left dry land
And you could be lord Jesus
And the whole world will understand
Down where the drunkards roll
Down where the drunkards roll
