Gambling Bar Room Blues Songtext

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
