Barley & Grape Rag

I don't care if I get arrested

'Cause tonight there'll be more than a ball and chain

I don't care just who's interested

'Cause I'm coming into town just the same

I've been feeling low and I've been feeling blue

I think I need a little beer or two

Be my friend, tell me where that place is

Where the whiskey flows and the dice is rolled all gone

My baby done me wrong, you must be getting that true

My heart's full of ice, it must be cold

I don't wanna know where east and west is

But pretty soon I won't feel the cold

When I'm walking down Main Street feeling no pain

A lot of copper can take my name

And explain to me what a bad run of case is

I'm mixing the barley with the grapes again

Look out

Bright city lights make me feel alright

I'm right or wrong, but 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 low and I've been feeling blue

I think I need a little whiskey or two

Good God, Barney, you look like you could do with it too

That's true

Look out, here we go again

Bright city lights make me feel alright

I'm right or wrong, but tomorrow never comes

I don't care if I get arrested

'Cause tonight there'll be more than a ball and chain

I don't care just who's interested

'Cause I'm coming into town just the same

I don't care just who's interested

'Cause tomorrow morning I'll take all the blame

I've been feeling low and I've been feeling blue

I think I need a little whiskey or two

Be my friend, tell me where that place is

Where the whiskey flows and the dice is rolled all gone
