I met a girl at the cabaret
said pretty papa i'm gin your way
her man know what it all about
waiting at home just to throw me out
broke my nose split my chin
dont let me catch you here again
he whipped me from the kitchen back to the door
he beat me with a chair till my head got sore
that'll never happen no more
that'll never happen no more

the wind in chicago winter and fall
is what caused me to wear my overalls
got broke was my fault
been used to eating porkchops an meat and salt
i met a woman just a pigmeat some
big fatmouth me followed her
she pulled a gun take my joint
didnt leave me hard on didnt get sore

that'll never happen no more
that'll never happen no more

This great classic has entered the 'folk process.' It's too good not to have a life of its own. Here's the way I learned it (1960s), it undoubtedly stems from the second Dave Van Ronk version that Masato linked.

THAT'LL NEVER HAPPEN NO MORE

Met a gal in a cabaret
Pretty Poppa, ya goin' my way?
I 'magine ya know what it's all about
She brought me home just to kick me out.

Broke m'nose and she split my chin
Don't let me catch her 'round here again
Whippin' thru' the kitchen and out thru' the door,
she beat me with a chair leg 'til my head got sore

Cho: That'll never happen no more,
that'll never happen no more.


Livin' in Chicago in the winter and fall
caused me to wear my overalls
I got sick and it was my fault
I was eating porkchops and a-leavin' the salt.

Went to a party the other night
Got into drinkin', I was feelin' alright
Lit up a reefer and I stoked some gin
I sat there waiting for the fun to begin

Pretty little girl walks up to me
C'mon Daddy, let's make whoopee
I woke up in an empty bed
M'pockets was empty, had a pain in my head

That'll never happen no more,
that'll never happen no more.


Met a gal in a big mink coat
forty foot car and a fifty foot boat
She pulled agun and she took my dough
I didn't hollar and I didn't get sore

That'll never happen no more,
That'll never happen no more.

This tune has a great non-standard blues progression with lots of fun little tricks in "G". Blind Blake was a great man.
