														   Well don't care if I get
arrested 

'Cos tonight they'll need more
than a ball and chain 

I don't care whose
interested, 

I'm coming into town just the
same 



I've been alone, I've been
feeling blue, 

I think I need a little
drink or two, 

Be my friend, tell me where
the place is 

Where the whiskey flows and
the dices roll till dawn? 



My baby's
done me wrong you must have guessed it, 

My
heart's slow I think it must be told 

That
I don't want ot know where East or West is 

'Cos pretty soon I won't feel the cold. 



When I'm walking down mainstreet,
feeling no pain 

Along comes a cop, he can
take my name 

And explain to me what a
federal case is, 

I'm mixing the barley
with the grape again 



Bright city
lights, make me feel alright, 

I'm right or
wrong and tomorrow never comes. 

I don't
care if i get investigated 

And the city
fathers they all black my name. 

I'm pretty
sure you can smell the traces, 

For tomorrow
morning, I'll take all the blame. 



I've been feeling bad and feeling blue 

I think I need a little whiskey or two, 

God, brother, you look like you could do with
it too 

(That's true) 

Tonight I'll
sleep on a walking-cane 



I don't
care if I get arrested 

Cause tonight
they'll need more than a ball and chain. 

I
don't care whose interested, 

I'm coming
into town just the same 



I've been
feeling alone and I've been feeling blue. 

I think I need a little drink or two. 

Be my friend, tell me where the place is 

Where the whiskey flows and the dices roll
till dawn
