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 bar room to get another drink of gin But the first thing I knew, I was reelin', rockin' and drunk again Well, I kept on drinkin' gin and liquor way up into the night When my pal walked into the bar room Man, we had a terrible fight I reached down for my razor, and then I knocked around But when I pulled my pistol, I quickly smoked him down I went down to see my baby, and 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 and stopped in at the bar And there I met a policeman He was cruisin' down in his car My baby came in to join us, and then it began to rain Then I was in a hurry, had to catch that midnight train I laid my head on the bar room door I'll never get drunk no more I pawn my watch and my golden chain I pawn my baby's diamond ring I said, hey hey hey, hey hey hey hey hey Hey hey hey, hey hey hey hey hey From Letras Mania
