GAMBLING BAR ROOM BLUES by JIMMIE RODGERS

[whookidspade]

All I listen to is hip hop and I must say this is some good stuff.

[Pentagonshark666]

f*ckin awesome,a true masterpiece.

[Pentagonshark666]

a great song.

[MrCraig1930]

I was 3 when Jimmie died. My parents played his records alot. then the record player was destroyed during the Dirty 30s. I remember dad saying "that Earnest Tubb fella traveling with Jimmie will never make it".

[driftingsinger]

Does anybody have the chords for this 1? I cant seem to find em

[canusnurse]

Wow, i never would have believed that someone would post Jimmie Rogers on YouTube..thank you so much..i have very wonderful memories of driving to town with my dad, and he was singing these songs..i grew up listening to all of these..thanks again for the memories

[drezler5]

Oh geeze, that was really great. I got some whiskey in a small glass, and that song made it taste twice as good.

[temetcalfe]

"Good God she was lying there dead" is from the song "Those Gambler's Blues"..These were the songs I grew up on...My Dad played the records and also strummed the guitar and sang them...

I just bought the 5 CD set of 109 Jimmie Rodgers' songs and I think I saw that he only recorded 118 songs so it is a pretty full set of songs that he recorded..I have not heard them in over 30 years and can remember most of the lyrics...I guess Dad played them A LOT.....

lovely, haunting....

[Ms41855]

God bless him, my dad loved this man's music. When we were kids, he took us to the Jimmie Rodgers' museum in Meridian, Mississippi. I remember "T for Texas, T for Tennessee" was his favorite.

[Spackasaurus]

Top tune. Cheek out the Sensational Alex Harvey Band version. One of the best British bands ever!

[UpALazyRiver]

this song is very closely related to an english folk song made famous by louis armstrong named "St. James Infirmary blues"

can anyone shed some light?

[damnliar]

Are there some more lyrics to this song? I used to play this record on my grandparents record back in the 1940s and it seems I remember in the song that his girl friend died, "good God she was lying there dead. So I went on down to the barroom and I drunk good whiskey til night, cause it hurt me so to see her there lying there so cold and white." It sounded like the same song if my memories serve me right. Love Jimmie Rodgers and all his songs.

[sprangdyne]

My dad, Shelly Lee Alley, wrote Gambling Barroom Blues. He also wrote and recorded with Jimmie on Travelin Blues.

[elkriverharmonicas]

Thank you for posting this, I only have it on 78... this sounds so much better, it's one of my favorites.

"I reached down for my razor, then we knocked around, but when I pulled my pistol, I quickly smoked him down," has to be the greatest line ever.

[laslos3]
