Lyrics
It was down at Big Kid's barroom
On the corner, beyond the square
Everybody's drinking liquor
The regular crowd was there
I stepped out on the sidewalk
Began walking around
I looked everywhere I thought she'd be
But my baby couldn't be found
I went by the big infirmary
I heard my sweetheart moan
Gee, it hurts me to see you here
You know you used to be my own
I went back to see the doctor
"Your gal is low," he said
I went back to see my baby
Good God, she was lying there dead
I strolled on back to the barroom
Drinking whiskey tonight
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 gone wherever she may be
She's gambled this wide world over
But she never found a pal like me
Sixteen coal black horses
All hitched up in a line
In that pretty buggy she's riding
Goodbye, old pal of mine
On the corner, beyond the square
Everybody's drinking liquor
The regular crowd was there
I stepped out on the sidewalk
Began walking around
I looked everywhere I thought she'd be
But my baby couldn't be found
I went by the big infirmary
I heard my sweetheart moan
Gee, it hurts me to see you here
You know you used to be my own
I went back to see the doctor
"Your gal is low," he said
I went back to see my baby
Good God, she was lying there dead
I strolled on back to the barroom
Drinking whiskey tonight
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 gone wherever she may be
She's gambled this wide world over
But she never found a pal like me
Sixteen coal black horses
All hitched up in a line
In that pretty buggy she's riding
Goodbye, old pal of mine
