I went down to old Joe's barroom, On the corner by the square The drinks there were served as usual, And the usual crowd was there.
On my left stood old Joe McKennedy, And his eyes were bloodshot red; He turned to the crowd around him, These are the words he said:

I want six gamblers to carry my coffin And chorus girls to sing me a song Put a twenty-piece jazz band on my tail gate To raise Hell as we go along
