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
|
