Dave Van Ronk — Thatll Never Happen No More

I met a gal in a cabaret Pretty papa, will you go my way Her man know what it all about She brought me home just to kick me out Broke my nose and she split my chin Don't let me catch you round here again Whippin' through the kitchen out the door She beat me with a chair till my head got sore That'll never happen no more That'll never happen no more Live in Chicago in the winter and fall Cause me to wear my overalls I got drunk and it was my fault I was drinkin' tequila and leavin' the salt I met a gal in a big mink coat Fancy car and a forty-foot boat Pulled a gun and she take my dough I didn't hollar and I didn't get sore That'll never happen no more That'll never happen no more Went to a party the other night Got into drinkin', I was feelin' alright You know, I lit up a reefer and I drank some gin I sat there waitin' for the fun to begin Pretty little girl walks up to me Says, "Cummon, daddy, let's make whoopee!" I woke up in an empty bed My pockets was empty, a pain in my head That'll never happen no more That'll never happen no more
