Gambling Bar Room Blues

Gambling Bar Room Blues - Jimmie Rodgers (吉米·罗杰斯)

Written by：Shelly Lee Alley/Jimmie Rodgers

Ho ho hey hey 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 stroke back to the bar room to get another drink of gin

But the first thing I knew I was reeling rocking and drunk a gin

I kept drinking gin and liquor 'till 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

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 flatfooted cop and I

I thought he would never leave me lord I thought I 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 pawn my watch and my golden chain

I pawn 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
