Doc Watson - Way Downtown lyrics



Way downtown just foolin' around

Took me to the jail

It's oh me and it's oh my

No one to go my bail

It was late last night when Willie came home

I heard him a-rapping on the door

He's a-slipping and a-sliding with his new shoes on

Mamma said Willie don't you rap no more

Way downtown just foolin' around

Took me to the jail

It's oh me and it's oh my

No one to go my bail

(break)

I wish I was over at my sweet Sally's house

Sittin' in that big armed chair

One arm around this old guitar

And the other one around my dear

Way down town just foolin' around

Took me to the jail

It's oh me and it's oh my

No one to go my bail

(break)

Now, its one old shirt is all that I got

And a dollar is all that I crave

I brought nothing with me into this old world

Ain't gonna take nothing to my grave

Way down town just foolin' around

Took me to the jail

It's oh me and it's oh my

No one to go my bail
