Alehouse Blues

I got the alehouse blues
I had the jailhouse blues
Little Randy just died
He was a redhead punk
Packed a lot of spunk
They say he never cried
He was pal of mine
Paid my hundred dollar fine
He got drunk all night
Somebody called me a liar
At the two-bit bar
It was Randy, won that fight
And the cops pulled round
He didn't want to be found
He just said good bye
