\n<\/span>And [G] when we got in-[C]-side the house the [D] drinks were handed [G] \u2019round.\u00a0 The [Em] liquor was so [C] awful strong my [D] head went round and [G] round.
\n<\/span>{ CHORUS }
\n<\/span>And [G] then we had [C] another drink[D] before we sat to[G] eat.<\/span> The [Em] liquor was so [C] awful strong, I [D] <\/strong>quickly fell [G] asleep.
\n<\/span>{ CHORUS }
\n<\/span>I [G] don’t recall what [C] happened then, my [D] mind was rather [G] numb.\u00a0 I [Em] cuddled up [C] on the floor, [D] sleepin like a [G] bum.
\n<\/span>{ CHORUS }\u00a0 And [G] away there [C] Santee, [D] my dear [G] Annie.<\/span>\u00a0 [G] Ah, you [C] Bistro girls, [D] can\u2019t dance the [G] polka.
\n<\/span>When [G] I awoke next [C] morning, I [D] had an aching [G] head.\u00a0 <\/span>[Em] There was I, left [C] all alone, [D] naked on the [G] bed!
\n<\/span>{ CHORUS }
\n<\/span>My [G] gold watch and my [C] money and my [D] lady friends were [G] gone<\/span>, and [Em] there was I Jack [C] all alone, [D] cold and so for-[G]-lorn.
\n<\/span>{ CHORUS }
\n<\/span>Now [G] looking \u2019round this [C] little room, there\u2019s [D] nothing I could [G] see, <\/span>but a [Em] woman\u2019s dress and [C] apron, they [D] were no use to [G] me.
\n<\/span>{ CHORUS }
\n<\/span>A [G] dish towel, and a [C] wash cloth was [D] all I had to [G] wear.\u00a0 I [Em] went down to the [C] Bistro to [D] see what there was [G] there<\/span>.
\n<\/span>{ CHORUS }\u00a0 And [G] away there [C] Santee, [D] my dear [G] Annie.<\/span>\u00a0 [G] Ah, you [C] Bistro girls, [D] can\u2019t dance the [G] polka.
