Email:[email protected]
Tuning:Standard
This is an old jazz tune done by Louis Armstrong in the 20's, this is Ramblin Jack
folk version with Dave Van Ronk, a fine duet and a great tune.
Am E Am
It was down in Old Joe's bar-room,
F E E7
on the corner by the square,
Am E Am
the usual crowd was assembled
F E Am
and big Joe Mckenny was there.
Am E Am
He was standing at my shoulder,
F E E7
his eyes were bloodshot red,
Am E Am
he turned to the crowd around him
F E Am
these are the very words he said...wad he say Jack?
Am E Am
I went down to the St. James Infirmary
F E E7
I saw my baby there,
Am E Am
she was layed out on a cold white table,
F E Am
so cold, so white, so fair.
CHORUS:
Am E Am
Let her go, let her go, god bless her
F E E7
wherever she may be,
Am E Am
she may search this wide world over,
F E Am
she'll never find a sweet man like me.
Am E Am
When I die, bury me,
F E E7
in a high top Stetson hat,
Am E Am
put a 20 dollar goldpiece on my watch chain,
F E Am
so god know I died standing pat.
Am E Am
I want 6 crapshooters for pallbearers,
F E E7
chorus gonna sing me a song,
Am E Am
put a jazz band on my hearse wagon,
F E Am
raise hell, as I roll along.
CHORUS
Am E Am
Roll out your rubber tired carriage
F E E7
roll out your old time hack,
Am E Am
12 men going to the graveyard and,
F E Am
11 coming back
Am E Am
Now that I've told my story,
F E E7
I'll take another shot of booze,
Am E Am
and if anyone should happen to ask me,
F E Am
I got those, gambler's blues.
CHORUS
