"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 passed 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.
