Jimmie Rodgers - Gambling Bar Room Blues lyrics

[Jimmie Rodgers - Gambling Bar Room Blues lyrics]

Ho-ho hey hey 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 strolled back to the bar room
To get another drink of gin
But the first thing I knew I was reelin'
Rockin' and drunk again

I kept drinkin' gin and liquor 'till
Way up in the night
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

Hey hee hey-ho, ho hoo hoo
Hoo oo hoo oo, hoo-ho, hoo 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 riding 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'd 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've pawned my watch and my golden chain
I've pawned 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
