Jimmie Rodgers - Those Gambler's Blues lyrics
[Jimmie Rodgers - Those Gambler's Blues lyrics]
Ho, ho, hey hey hey ho hey
It was down in Big Kid's barroom
On a corner beyond the square
Everybody drinking liquor
The regular crowd was there
I walked out on the sidewalk
Began walking around
I looked everywhere I thought she'd be
But my baby couldn't be found
I passed by the big infirmary
I heard my sweetheart moan
Gee, it hurts me to see you here
'Cause you know, you used to be my own
I goes on out to see the doctor
"Your gal is low, " he said
I went back to see my baby
Good God, she was lying there dead
Hey ho ho ho ooh ooh ooh
Hey hey ho ho ho hey ho hey
So I strolled on back to the barroom
I drank good whiskey till night
'Cause it hurt me so to see my gal
Lying there so cold, so white
She's gone, she's gone, God bless her
She's mine wherever she may be
She has rambled this wide world over
But she never found a pal like me
Sixteen coal black horses
All hitched up in line
In that pretty buggy she's riding
Goodbye, old gal of mine
It was down in Big Kid's barroom
On a corner beyond the square
Everybody drinking liquor
The regular crowd was there
I walked out on the sidewalk
Began walking around
I looked everywhere I thought she'd be
But my baby couldn't be found
I passed by the big infirmary
I heard my sweetheart moan
Gee, it hurts me to see you here
'Cause you know, you used to be my own
I goes on out to see the doctor
"Your gal is low, " he said
I went back to see my baby
Good God, she was lying there dead
Hey ho ho ho ooh ooh ooh
Hey hey ho ho ho hey ho hey
So I strolled on back to the barroom
I drank good whiskey till night
'Cause it hurt me so to see my gal
Lying there so cold, so white
She's gone, she's gone, God bless her
She's mine wherever she may be
She has rambled this wide world over
But she never found a pal like me
Sixteen coal black horses
All hitched up in line
In that pretty buggy she's riding
Goodbye, old gal of mine
