Gambling Bar Room Blues

Intro: Em Am Em B Em Ho-ho-hay-hay.... The Gambling Bar Room Blues Em Am I went down to the corner, just to meet my gal. Em B Em I found her standing on the sidewalk, talking to my pal. Em Am I strolled back to the bar room, to get another drink of gin. Em B Em But the first thing I knew I was reeling, rocking and drunk again. Em Am I kept drinking gin and liquor, 'til way up in the night. Em B Em When my pal walked into the bar room, we had an awful fight. Em Am I reached down for my razor, and then we knocked around. Em B Em But when I pulled my pistol, I quickly smoked him down. Em Am Em B Em Hay-hee-hay-ho-ho-ooh-ooh------ooo-ooo-ooo-oooooooh-ooh-oh-ho-hay-ho Em Am I went down to see my baby, and met her on the way, Em B Em I told her I'd have to leave her. I told her I could not stay. Em Am I started down to the station, and stopped in at the bar. Em B Em There I met a policeman, riding in a motor car. Em Am We both drank lots of liquor, that flat footed cop and I. Em B Em I thought he would never leave me. Lord, I thought I'd die. Em Am My baby came in to join us, and then it began to rain. Em B Em Then I had to hurry, hurry, to catch that midnight train. Em Am I laid my head in the bar room door. I'll never get drunk anymore. Em B Em I pawned my watch and my golden chain. I pawned my baby's diamond ring. Em Am Police, police, police, you're just as drunk as me. Em B Em I'll grab that old eight-wheeler, and make for the deep blue sea-ee.
