Song is recorded in Bb, but written here in G) G See the boys out walking C G The boys who look so fine C G Dressed up in green velvet C G Their silver buckles shine G Soon they'll be bleary-eyed D C Under a keg of wine CHORUS C/G D Down where the drunkards roll C/G D Down where the drunkards roll 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
