Barley & Grape Rag

barley & grape rag - 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'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
