VERSE
Never done ya right, but it never done ya wrong
Still can't figure out why you're singin' them same old songs
But it fills an empty evening and it keeps the blues away
Oh, play drunken troubadour, play.

VERSE
Never done ya right, but at least you're not alone
Ya haunt the same old joints
You don't stray too far from home
And it fills your empty evenings and it keeps the blues away
Oh, play drunken troubadour, play.

CHORUS
Where the door's always open and the perfume's so strong
Where the same old smoky faces sing the same old smoky songs
See the girl playin' pool, dream your troubles away
Oh, play drunken troubadour, play.

{½-A-VERSE INSTRUMENTAL, THEN...}
And it fills your empty evenings, but the blues ain't far away
Oh, play drunken troubadour, play.

CHORUS
Where the door's always open and the perfume's so strong
Where the same old smoky faces sing the same old smoky songs
See the girl playin' pool, dream your troubles away
Oh, play drunken troubadour, play.

{REPEAT CHORUS, CONCLUSION}
