Gambling Bar Room Blues

Gambling Bar Room Blues - Jimmie Rodgers (吉米·羅傑斯)

Hoho heyhey the gamblin' bar room blues

I went down to the corner just to meet my gal

I found her standin on the sidewalk talkin' to my pal

I stroke back to the bar room

To get another drink of gin

But the first thing I knew

I was reelin rockin' and drunk a gin

I kept drinkin' gin and liquor

Till way you been the night

When my pal walked into the bar room

We had an awfull 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 ridin' 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
