Barley & Grape Rag (with Ronnie Drew And The Dubliners) Lyrics - Wheels Within Wheels - Rory Gallagher

I don't care if I get arrested 

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

I don't care just whose interested 

'Cause I'm comin' into town just the same 

I've been feelin' alone, 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 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 

I don't wanna know where east an' west is 

'Cause 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 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 that you can smell the traces 

For tomorrow mornin', I'll take all the blame 

I've been feeling low and feeling blue 

I think I need a little whiskey or two 

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

That's true, tonight I'll sleep on a walking-cane 

Bright city lights, make me feel alright 

I'm right or wrong tomorrow never comes 

I don't care if I get arrested 

'Cause tonight they'll need more than a ball an' chain 

I don't care just whose interested 

'Cause I'm coming into town just the same 

I don't care just whose interested 

'Cause tomorrow morning, I'll take all the blame 

I've been alone, 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 dices roll till dawn?
