Gambling Bar Room Blues

I went down to the corner

Just to meet my gal

I found her standin' on the sidewalk

She was talkin'to my pal

I strolled back to the barroom

To get another drink of gin

But the first thing I knew I was leavin'

A'rockin' the drunk again

Well I kept on drinkin' gin and liquor

Way up into the night

When my pal walked into the barroom

Man we had a terrible fight

I reached down for my razor

And then I knocked him around

But when I pulled my pistol

I quickly smoked him down

I went down to see my baby

I met her on the way

I told her I had to leave her

I told her I could not stay

I started down to the station

I stopped in at the bar

And there I met a policeman

He was cruisin' 'round in his car

My baby came in to join us

Then it began to rain

Man, I was in a hurry

Had to catch the midnight train

I laid my head on the barroom door

I never be drunk no more

I pawned my watch, and my gold an' diamonds

I pawned my baby's diamond ring

I said, hey - hey - hey

Hey - hey - hey - hey - hey, oh yeah

Hey - hey - hey

Hey - hey - hey - hey - hey, oh no
