It was Amdown at E7old Joe'Ams bar room
At the cAmorner Fmaj7by the Csquare E7
They were Amserving E7drinks asAm usual Am/G
And the Fmaj7usual E7crowd was theAmre
On my Amleft stood E7big Joe MacAmKennedy
His Ameyes were bFmaj7loodshot Cred E7
And as he lAmooked at the E7gang aroundAm him Am/G
These Fmaj7were the very E7words he saAmid.
I went Amdown to E7St. James AmInfirmary
Am I saw my Fmaj7baby CthereE7
Stretched Amout on a E7long, white Amtable Am/G
So Fmaj7young, so cE7old, so Amfair
Am Seventeen E7coal-black Amhorses
AmHitched to a Fmaj7rubber-tied Chack E7
SAmeven girls E7goin' to the AmgraveyardAm/G
Only Fmaj7six of them are E7coming Amback
Let her Amgo. Let her E7go, God bless hAmer
Am Wherever Fmaj7she may Cbe E7
She may sAmearch thisE7 wide world Amover Am/G
And never Fmaj7find another E7man like Amme
Am When I E7die just burAmy me
Am In my Fmaj7high-top Stetson Chat E7
Place a Amtwenty-dollar E7gold piece on my Amwatch chaiAm/Gn
To let the Fmaj7Lord know I E7died standing Ampat
I want Amsix crap-shooters E7for my pAmallbearers
A AmChorus girl to Fmaj7sing me a Csong E7
Place a Amjazz band on E7my hearse Amwagon Am/G
To Fmaj7raise hell as we E7roll alongAm
Am Now that you've E7heard my Amstory
Am I'll take another Fmaj7shot of CboozeE7
Am And if anyone E7here shouAmld ask yoAm/Gu
Fmaj7 I've got the E7gambler's Amblues
