I’m sinking at the bar, feeling sorry for my heart
I’m smokin’ and lonesome again
I feel your love and hurt when I wear your dirty shirt
Not too sunny in places where it ends

You took a job in Dawson City, just to keep from going down
Cause I been going round and around the whiskey town
You saw the light and cut the willow, gave away our wedding gown
Cause I been going round and around the whiskey town

Solo – chorus

Not picking my guitar, I’m haunted by my scars
Got no horses or the force to bring me home
Can’t expect that you should follow down into my darkest hollow
Not too sunny in places where I roam

You took a job in Dawson City, just to keep from going down
Cause I been going round and around the whiskey town
You saw the light and cut the willow, gave away our wedding gown
Cause I been going round and around the whiskey town

Sweet Baby I’m around and around the whiskey town

Baby I’m around and around the whiskey town
