Those Gamblers' Blues [St.James Infirmary] [Italian translation]

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
