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 strolled back to the barroom To get another drink of gin But the first thing I knew I was leavin' A'rockin' the drunk again Well I kept on drinkin' gin and liquor Way up into the night When my pal walked into the barroom Man 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 ♪ I went down to see my baby I 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 I stopped in at the bar And there I met a policeman He was cruisin' 'round in his car My baby came in to join us Then it began to rain Man, I was in a hurry Had to catch the midnight train I laid my head on the barroom door I never be drunk no more I pawned my watch, and my gold an' diamonds I pawned 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, oh no
