Doc WatsonWay Downtown Lyrics
[Chorus]
Way downtown, foolin' around
Took me to the jail
Oh me, and it's oh my
Ain't no one to go my bail
[Verse 1]
It was late last night when Willie came home
I heard him a-rapping on the door
He is a-slipping and a-sliding with his new shoes on
Papa said Willie don't you rap no more
[Chorus]
Way downtown, foolin' around
They took me to the jail
Oh me, and it's oh my
Ain't no one to go my bail
[Instrumental Break]
(Oh, ain't it sweet, that fiddlin')
(Let's hear you now, Les)
[Verse 2]
I wish I was over at my sweet Sally's house
Sittin' in that big armchair
One arm around my old guitar
And the other one around my dear
[Chorus]
Way downtown, foolin' around
Took me to the jail
Oh me, and it's oh my
Ain't no one to go my bail
[Instrumental Break]
(Get it, Doc)
(Take another one)
[Verse 3]
Well, it's one old shirt is about all I got
And a dollar is all that I crave
'Cause I brought nothing with me into this old world
And ain't a-gonna take nothing to my grave
[Chorus]
Way downtown, foolin' around
Took me to the jail
Oh me, and it's oh my
Ain't no one to go my bail
[Instrumental Break]
(Now toot that harmonica a little there)
(Let me hear that banjo too)
[Chorus]
Way downtown, foolin' around
They took me to the jail
Oh me, and it's oh my
Ain't no one to go my bail
