Gambler's Blues - Dave Van Ronk[00:00:00]
It was down my houl Joe's bar room[00:00:06]
On a corner of the square[00:00:10]
They were serving drinks as usual[00:00:14]
And the usual crowd was there[00:00:18]
On my left stood Big Joe McKennedy[00:00:23]
His eyes were bloodshot red[00:00:27]
Well he turned to the crowd around him[00:00:31]
These are the very words he said[00:00:35]
I went down to that St-James Infirmary[00:00:39]
I saw my baby there[00:00:43]
Stretched out on a long white table[00:00:47]
So sweet so cold so fair[00:00:51]
Let her go let her go God bless her[00:00:55]
Wherever she may be[00:00:59]
She may search this wide world over[00:01:03]
Never find a sweet man like me[00:01:07]
When I die please bury me[00:01:11]
In my high-top Stetson hat[00:01:15]
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch-chain[00:01:19]
My God know I died standing pat[00:01:23]
I want six crapshooters for pallbearers[00:01:27]
A chorus girl to sing me a song[00:01:31]
Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon[00:01:34]
To raise hell as I stroll along[00:01:38]
Let her go let her go God bless her[00:01:42]
Wherever she may be[00:01:46]
She may search this wide world over[00:01:50]
Never find a sweet man like me[00:01:54]
When Now that I've told my story[00:01:58]
I'll take another shot of booze[00:02:02]
And if anyone to happen to ask you[00:02:06]
Well I've got those gamblers blues[00:02:10]
Let her go let her go God bless her[00:02:14]
Wherever she may be[00:02:18]
She may search this wide world over[00:02:22]
Never find a sweet man like me[00:02:26]
