take your drink to the end of the bar, buddy
let her stay there now don't be a fool
i'd as soon have a hot seat in sing-sing prison
than to sit down by her on that stool
what's that you say? well i guess you're right
it's nothing to me
see that man? she belongs to him, buddy
better drink up and go while you can
i can tell by the way he looks at you, buddy
that he's sure a quick-tempered, jealous man
what's that you say? well i guess you're right
it ain't nothin' to me
there you are stretched out the floor, buddy
now you see what you made him do
here they come take him off to jail, buddy
and tomorrow someone will bury you
i guess that's life, or at least it was
it's nothing to me
