Ho, ho, hey hey Hey ho hey It was down in Big Kid's barroom On a corner beyond the square Everybody drinking liquor; The regular crowd was there I walked out on the sidewalk Began walking around I looked everywhere I thought she'd be But my baby couldn't be found I pa**ed by the big infirmary I heard my sweetheart moan Gee, it hurts me to see you here Cos you know you used to be my own I goes on out to see the doctor “Your gal is low,” he said I went back to see my baby
Good God, she was lying there dead Hey ho ho ho Oooh ooh ooh Hey hey ho ho ho Hey ho hey So I strolled on back to the barroom I drank good whiskey 'til night Cos it hurt me so to see my gal Lying there so cold so white She's gone, she's gone, God bless her She's mine wherever she may be She has rambled this wide world over But she never found a pal like me Sixteen coal black horses All hitched up in line In that pretty buggy she's riding Goodbye old gal of mine
