See the boys out walking

The boys who look so fine

Dressed up in green velvet

Their silver buckles shine 

Soon they'll be bleary-eyed

Under a keg of wine

See that lover standing

Staring at the ground

He's looking for the real thing 
C                G 
Lies were all he found 

You can get the real thing

It will only cost a pound

There goes a troubled woman

She dreams a troubled dream 
    C                G 
She lives out on the highway 
    C               G 
She keeps her money clean 

Soon she'll be returning 
D                            C

You can be a gambler

Who never drew a hand

You can be a sailor 
    C              G 
Who never left dry land 

You can be lord Jesus

All the world will understand
