Lyrics
(Jimmie rodgers)
I went down to the corner, just to meet my gal Saw her standing on the sidewalk, talking to my pal I strolled back to the bar room, to get another drink of gin Next thing I was reelin', rocking and drunk again
Ref:hay-ee-hay-hoo-a-ha-ha bo-hoo-hey-ho gamblin bar room blues
I kept drinking gin and ligour, to way up in the night (Then) my pal came to the bar room, we had an awful fight
I reached down for my razor, and we knocked around, but when I pulled My pistol, I quickly smoked him down
Ref:
I went to see my baby, and met her on the way Told her I had to leave her, told her I couldn't stay I went down to the station, stopped in at the bar There I met a policeman, riding in a motor car
We both drank lots of liqour, that flat footed cop and i I thought he'd never leave me, lord, I thought I'd die My baby came in to join us, and it began to rain, then I had To hurry, hurry, to catch that midnight train
I laid my head on the ballroom door, I never get drunk anymore I found my watch and my golden chain, I found my babys diamond ring Police, police, police, you're just as drunk as me I grabbed that all eight-wheeler, and went to the deep blue sea-ee
