Doc Watson Way Downtown Lyrics

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
