Barley and Grape Rag (Live at Sheffield City Hall, 17th February 1977) Lyrics by Rory Gallagher

Check Shirt Wizard: Live in ’77

2020

Well I don't care if I get arrested
Cos tonight they'll need more than a ball and chain
I don't just care who's interested
Cos I'm coming into town just the same
I've feeling alone, I've been feeling blue
I think I need a little beer or two, hey
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 so low I think it must be told
That I don't wanna know where east or wеst is
Cos pretty soon I won't feel the cold
When I'm walking down Main Street, feeling no pain
Along comе a cop, take my name
And explain to me what a federal case is
Well, I'm mixing the barley with the grape again
Bright city lights that make it feel alright
I am right or wrong or tomorrow never comes
I don't care if I get investigated
And the city fathers, they all black my name
Well, I'm pretty sure that you can smell the traces, haha
For tomorrow morning, I'll take all the blame
When I'm walking down Main Street, feeling no pain
Along come a cop, he can take my name
Explain to me what a federal case is
Well, I'm mixing the barley with the grape again
Bright city lights that make it feel alright
I am right or wrong or when tomorrow never, never comes
I don't care I get investigated
And the city fathers, they all black my name
Well, I'm pretty sure that you can smell the traces
For tomorrow morning, I'll take all the blame
I've feeling alone, I've been feeling blue
I think I need a little whiskey or two
Good God, brother, you look like you could do with it, too
Or three, or four or five
Tonight I could sleep on a walking-cane
