I went down to the corner
Just to meet my gal
I found her standin' on the sidewalk
She was talkin' to my pal
I strode back to the bar room
To get another drink of gin
But the first thing I knew, I was reelin'
Rockin' and drunk again
Well, I kept on drinkin' gin and liquor
Way up into the night
When my pal walked into the bar room
Then, we had a terrible fight
I reached down for my razor
And then I knocked him around
But when I pulled my pistol
I quickly smoked him down, yeah
I went down to see my baby
And met her on the way
I told her I had to leave her
I told her I could not stay
I started down to the station
And stopped in at the bar
And there, I met a policeman
He was cruisin' out in his car
My baby came in to join us
And then it began to rain
And then I was in a hurry
I had to catch the midnight train
I laid my head in the bar room door
I'll never get drunk no more
I pawn my watch and my golden chain
I pawn my baby's diamond ring
I said, hey, hey, hey
Hey-hey, hey, hey, hey (Oh yeah)
Hey, hey, hey
Hey-hey, hey, hey, hey (Let's go)
