Hohoheyhey, the gamblin bar room blues I went down to the corner just to meet my ga,l 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 awful fight I reached down for my razor, and then we knocked around But when I pulled my pistol I quickly smoked him down Heyheeheyho, hohoohoo Hoooohoooo, hooho, hoheyho I went down to see my baby, and met her on the way I told her Id 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 hurryhurry to catch that midnight train I laid my head in the bar room door, I ll never get drunk anymore I pawn my watch and my golden chain, I pawn my babys diamond ring Police, police, police, youre just as drunk as me Ill grab that old eightwheeler and make for the deep blue sea
