gambling barroom blues - jimmie rodgers lyrics

hoho-heyhey, the gamblin’ bar room blues
i went down to the corner just to meet my gal
i found her standin’ on the sidewalk talkin’ to my pal
i stroke back to the bar room to get another drink of gin
but the first thing i knew i was reelin’, rockin’ and drunk a gin
i kept drinkin’ gin and liquor ’till way …
when my pal walked into the bar room we had an awfull fight
i reached down for my razor, and then we knocked around
but when i pulled my pistol i quickly smoked him down

heyhee-heyho, ho-hoohoo
hoo-oo-hoo-oo, hoo-ho, ho-hey-ho

i went down to see my baby, and met her on the way
i told her i’d have to leave her, i told her i could not stay
i started down to the station and stopped in at the bar
there i met a policeman ridin’ in a motor car
we both drank lots of liquor, that flatfooted cop and i
i thought he would never leave me, lord, i thought i die
my baby came in to join us, and then it began to rain
then i had to hurry-hurry to catch that midnight train

i laid my head in the bar room door, i ‘ll never get drunk anymore
i p-wn my watch and my golden chain, i p-wn my baby’s diamond ring
police, police, police, you’re just as drunk as me
i’ll grab that old eight-wheeler and make for the deep blue sea
