Come On Baby Let's Go Downtown by Neil Young
Release Date
Performed by
Neil YoungProduced by
Paul A. RothchildAbout
Recorded live in 1970 at fabled Lower East Side venue the Fillmore East — five years before Tonight’s The Night was released — this song memorializes Young’s friend, Crazy Horse guitarist Danny Whitten, who died two years after the recording.
At its surface, the song is about going to buy heroin....
Come On Baby Let’s Go Downtown Lyrics
[Chorus]
Come on, baby, let's go downtown
Let's go, let's go, let's go downtown
Come on, baby, let's go downtown
Let's go, let's go, let's go downtown
[Verse 1]
Walk on, talk on, baby tell no lies
Don't you be caught with a tear in your eye
Sure enough they'll be selling stuff
When the moon begins to rise
Pretty bad when you're dealing with the man
And the light shines in your eyes, yeah
[Chorus]
Come on, baby, let's go downtown
Let's go, let's go, let's go downtown
Come on, baby, let's go downtown
Let's go, let's go, let's go downtown
[Verse 2]
Snake eyes, French fries and I got lots of gas
Full moon and a jumping tune, now you don't have to ask
Sure enough, they'll be selling stuff
When the moon begins to rise
Pretty bad when you're dealing with the man
And the light shines in your eyes, yeah
[Chorus]
Come on, baby, let's go downtown
Let's go, let's go, let's go downtown
Come on, baby, let's go downtown
Let's go, let's go, let's go downtown
[Verse 3]
Walk on, talk on, baby tell no lies
Don't you be caught with a tear in your eye (Woo-hoo)
Sure enough they'll be selling stuff
When the moon begins to rise
Pretty bad when you're dealing with the man
And the light shines in your eyes, yeah
[Outro]
Pretty bad when
You're dealing with the man
And the light shines in your eyes, yeah (Come on, now)
Pretty bad when
You're dealing with the man
And the light shines in your eyes, yeah
Pretty bad when
You're dealing with the man
And the light shines in your eyes, yeah
(Thank you)
