Way Downtown - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band/Doc Watson

Way downtown foolin' around

Took me to the jail

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 foolin' around

Took me to the jail

Oh me and it's oh my

No one to go my bail

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

Sittin' in that big armed chair

One arm around my old guitar

And the other one around my dear

Way down town foolin' around

Took me to the jail

Oh me and it's oh my

No one to go my bail

Well it's one old shirt is all that I got

And a dollar is all that I crave

'Cause I brought nothing with me into this old world

Ain't gonna take nothing to my grave

Way down town foolin' around

Took me to the jail

Oh me and it's oh my

No one to go my bail

Way downtown foolin' around

Took me to the jail

Oh me and it's oh my

No one to go my bail
