Subject: RE: LYRICS? Gambling Barrom Blues From: GUEST,Chris - still working at home Date: 12 Apr 02 - 12:05 PM OK guest, you beat me to it! But thanks for the link to all the Jimmie Rodgers lyrics. Incidentally, I see the original request was in May 1998, so we may both be a bit late! I'll try and get some work done now. Cheers. Chris |
Subject: Lyr Add: GAMBLING BARROOM BLUES (Jimmie Rodgers) From: GUEST,Chris also "working at home" Date: 12 Apr 02 - 11:51 AM These are the lyrics I've taken from the original Jimmie Rodgers recording. It's on the "Jimmie Rodgers" CD number PLS CD 326, one of the "Famous Country Music Makers" series issued by Castle Music Ltd 29 Barwell Business Park, Leatherhead Road, Chessington, Surrey KT9 2NY. I still see it in the shops occasionally, price £2.99! Cheers. Chris
GAMBLING BARROOM BLUES
Ho, ho, hey, hey,
I went down to the corner, just to meet my gal,
I kept drinking gin an' liquor 'til way up in the night.
Hey, hee, hey, ho,
I went down to see my baby and met her on the way.
We both drink lots of liquor, that flat-footed cop and I.
I laid my head in the bar room door; I'll never get drunk any more. |

GAMBLIN' BAR ROOM BLUES
CHORUS: Ho! He! Ho! He! You're just as drunk as me.
I went down to the corner, just for to meet my pal.
I kept on drinkin’ liquor, to way out in the night
So I headed on back to the barroom, stoppin’ in at the bar, |
Subject: RE: LYRICS? Gambling Barrom Blues From: GUEST,Scabby Doug at work and cookieless Date: 12 Apr 02 - 05:08 AM I've had a look around for this - searched Digitrad and forum, used Google. I'm sure that I recently got words for a Jimmie Rodgers song from a GREAT site, but I can't find it any more. Anyone have the lyrics for Gambling Barroom Blues? I believe that it was recorded by (amongst others) the Sensational Alex Harvey Band. I'd be very grateful if anyone can point me in the correct direction. Cheers Steven |
Subject: RE: LYRICS? Gambling Barrom Blues From: Joe Offer Date: 11 May 98 - 02:30 PM Didn't find your song, Patrick, but when I looked at Cowpie, I found this gem. Of course, it was posted there by our own Gene Graham. Somebody will come up with your song soon, Patrick, but I couldn't resist providing a link to the other song. -Joe Offer- |
