Hangdog Hotel Room
Written by - Gordon Lightfoot
From - Endless Wire
I go in for singing
I do it for my pay
But the kind of gig I can really dig
Is swiggin' at the break of day
With a few good friends and neighbors in
To playin' the night time tunes
So pass that jar and that old guitar
In this hangdog hotel room
Oh Lord, it feels so good to play
A night time tune
So pass that jar and that old guitar
In this hangdog hotel room

I believe in magic
A little monkey shines
But the kind of row I can really hoe
Is playin' in tune on time
With rythms all around us
We're like weavers at the loom
So pass that jar and that old guitar
In this hangdog hotel room
Oh Lord, it feels so good to play
A night time tune
So pass that jar and that old guitar
In this hangdog hotel room

When it comes to mornin'
And goin' out at night
Well the kind of test that I like the best
Is a rubbin' the wrong girl right
And a few good friends and neighbors in
To playin' the night time tunes
So pass that jar and that old guitar
In this hangdog hotel room
Oh Lord, it feels so good to play
A night time tune
So pass that jar and that old guitar
In this hangdog hotel room

With rhythms all around us
We're like weavers at the loom
So pass that jar and that old guitar
In this hangdog…
Hotel room
