[Chorus]
Yo-hee, yo-hee
You're just as drunk as me
Yo-hee, yo-hee
Headin' for the deep blue sea

[Verse 1]
I went down to the corner, just for to meet my pal
I found him on the sidewalk, talking to my gal
I went back to the bar room, to get another drink of gin
First thing I knew, I was reeling, rocking drunk again

[Chorus]
Yo-hee, yo-hee
You're just as drunk as me
Yo-hee, yo-hee
Headin' for the deep blue sea

[Verse 2]
I kept on drinking liquor, to way out in the night
My pal came into the bar room, we had an awful fight
I reached down for my razor and then we messed around
But when I drew my pistol, I quickly smoked him down

[Chorus]
Yo-hee, yo-hee
You're just as drunk as me
Yo-hee, yo-hee
Headin' for the deep blue sea
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
So, I hеaded on back to the bar room, stopping in at the bar
And thеre I met a policeman, sitting in a motor car
We kept drinking lots of liquor, that flat-footed cop and I
I thought he would never leave me. I knew that he had to die
And I laid my head on the bar room floor
I'll never get drunk anymore
I pawned my watch, my golden chain
I pawned my baby's diamond ring

[Chorus]
Yo-hee, yo-hee
You're just as drunk as me
Yo-hee, yo-hee
Headin' for the deep blue sea
Yo-hee, yo-hee
You're just as drunk as me
Yo-hee, yo-hee
Headin' for the deep blue sea
