The Gin Done Done It

Want to take my gal to a social dance,
But I didn't have no sweet in my pants.
"Give me four dollars, take me in."
I took the four dollars and I bought some gin.

Gin done done it, oh doggone it,
Gin made a fool out of me.

I tore my hair, and I walked the street.
I wanted to whup everyone I meet.
Along came John, who's my best friend,
Cut his head till it was a sin.

Gin done done it, oh doggone it,
Gin made a fool out of me.

I shot some craps, to my disgrace,
I run everybody out the place.
Dice was loaded, made me sore,
Left four hustlers lying on the floor.

Gin done done it, oh doggone it,
Gin made a fool out of me.

I went to church, to do the holy roll,
Grabbed me a sister to convert her soul.
Two minutes later, preacher came in,
She stopped rolling with me, started rolling with him.

Gin done done it, oh doggone it,
Gin made a fool out of me.

I took my cow to the doctor man,
Something about her I couldn't understand.
I milked her good, 'bout half past ten,
She didn't give nothing but a bucket of gin.

Gin done done it, oh doggone it,
Gin made a fool out of me.

I tore up all my gal's good clothes,
Didn't mean to do it, the good Lord knows.
My landlady is a good old soul,
I even took some of her sweet jellyroll.

Gin done done it, oh doggone it,
Gin made a fool out of me.

I went downtown, 'bout half past four,
Stole two hot dogs from a butcher store.
Got locked up, the judge he said,
"Take six months to clear your head."

Gin done done it, oh doggone it,
Gin made a fool out of me.

The jailhouse steps were slick as glass,
I tried to run away, got shot in my --
I told my gal to bring me bail,
Get some money if she had to sell a little coal.

Gin done done it, oh doggone it,
Gin made a fool out of me.
