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
Took me to the jail
It's oh me and it's oh my
No one to go my bail
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
Took me to the jail
It's oh me and it's oh my
No one to go my bail
Sittin' in that big armed chair
One arm around this old guitar
And the other one around my dear
Took me to the jail
It's oh me and it's oh my
No one to go my bail
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
Took me to the jail
It's oh me and it's oh my
No one to go my bail
