WAY DOWNTOWN D

Way downtown fooling around took me to the jail

Oh me and it's oh my ain't 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

Pappa said Willie don't you rap no more

Chorus:

Way downtown…

 

I wish I was over at my sweet Sallys house

Sitting in that big arm chair

One arm around my old guitar

And the other one around my dear

Chorus:

Way downtown…

 

Well this one old shirt is about all I've got

And a dollar is all that I crave

Cause I brought nothing with me into this old world

Ain't a gonna take nothing to my grave

Chorus: X2

Way downtown
