Boys In The Barroom Lyrics

What a great tune! Hunter , as usual, mixes up old sea chantey's, english folk, and barroom jigs here.....and the age old question: was Jesus a wine- drinker and partier or a sober, straight mystic?? As for the jacks, kings, aces, Hunter is an avid fan of the old- western idiom, having grown up all along the west coast. Many of his songs are about card games, and fate.
