How about Jimmie Rodgers? This was transcribed as best I could make out the lyrics from a recording:

Gambling Barroom Blues
from the singing of Jimmie Rodgers

Oh…oh…hey, hey, the gambling barroom blues

I went down to the corner, just to meet my gal
I found her standing on the sidewalk, talking to my pal
I strolled back to the barroom to get another drink of gin
But the first thing I knew I was reelin', rockin', and drunk again.

I kept drinking gin and liquor, 'til way up in the night
When my pal walked into the barroom, we had an awful fight
I reached down for my razor and then we knocked around
But when I pulled my pistol, I quickly smote him down.

Hey…hee…hey…ho, ho…whoo…whoo…ooo-oo, ooo-oh, oh…hey…ho

I went down to see my baby and met her on the way
I told her I'd have to leave her, I told her I could not stay
I started down to the station and stopped in at the bar
There I met a police-man, riding in a motorcar

We both drank lots of liquor, that flat-footed cop and I
I thought he would never leave me, Lord, I thought I'd die
My baby came in to join us, and then it began to rain
Then I had to hurry, hurry, to catch that midnight train

I laid my head in the barroom door, I'll never get drunk anymore
I pawned my watch and golden chain, I pawned my baby's diamond ring
Police, police, police, you're just as drunk as me
I'll grab that old eight-wheeler and make for the deep blue sea.
