_ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
_ [Bb] Oh, _ [Ebm] hey, hey, the [Ebm] gambling barroom balloon _
_ I went down to the corner _ _ just to meet my [Abm] gal
_ [Bb] I found her standing [Ebm] on the side wall talking to my pal
_ I strolled back to the _ barroom to get another drink [Abm] of gin
_ [Bb] But the first thing I knew [Ebm] I was _ reeling, rocking and drunk again
_ I kept drinking gin and liquor _ till way up in [Abm] the night
_ [Bb] With my pal walked into [Ebm] the barroom, _ [Bb] we had an awful [Ebm] fight
_ I reached down for my razor _ and then we knocked [Abm] around
_ [Bb] But when I pulled [Ebm] my pistol _ [F] I quickly smoked [Ebm] him down
_ _ Hey, _ _ hey, oh, _ oh, _ [Abm] _
oh, _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ oh _ _ _ _
_ I went down to see my baby _ and met her on [Abm] the way
_ [Bb] I told her I'd have [Ebm] to leave her, [Bb] I told her I could not [Ebm] stay
_ I started down to the station and stopped in at the [Abm]
bar
_ [Bb] There I met a [Ebm] _
policeman _ [Bb] riding in a motor [Ebm] car
_ We both drank lots of liquor, _ that flat-footed cop [Abm] and I
I _ [Bb] thought he would never [Ebm] leave me, _ [Bb] Lord, I thought [Ebm] I'd die
My baby came in to join us and then it began [Abm] to rain
_ _ [D] Then I had [Ebm] to hurry, hurry [F] to catch that midnight [Ebm] train
I laid my head in the barroom door, I'll never get drunk [Abm] anymore
_ [Bb] I've pawned my watch and [Ebm] my golden chain, I've [Bb] pawned my baby's [Ebm] diamond ring
_ Police, police, _ police, _ you're just as drunk [Abm] as me
_ [Bb] I'll grab that old [Ebm] eight-wheeler _ [Bb] and make for the deep [Ebm] blue sea
