Barley And Grape Rag Lyrics

Barley And Grape Rag lyrics

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
