Intro: Ho-ho-hay-hay.... The Gambling Bar Room Blues I went down to the corner, just to meet my gal. I found her standing on the sidewalk, talking to my pal. I strolled back to the bar room, to get another drink of gin. But the first thing I knew I was reeling, rocking and drunk again. I kept drinking gin and liquor, 'til 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. Hay-hee-hay-ho-ho-ooh-ooh------ooo-ooo-ooo-oooooooh-ooh-oh-ho-hay-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 flat footed 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 pawned my watch and my golden chain. I 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-ee.
