Here's Way Downtown
One, um
Yeah, way downtown, just foolin' around
They took me to the jail
It's oh me, and it's oh my
Ain't no one to go my bail
It was late last night when Willie came home
I heard him a-rappin' at the door
He was a-slippin' and a-sliding with his new shoes on
Said, "Billy, don't you rap no more"
Yeah, way downtown, just foolin' around
They took me to the jail
It's oh me, and it's oh my
Ain't no one to go my bail (go take it, Billy)
ย
I wish I was over to my sweet Sally's house
Just sittin' in that big armchair
With a one arm around my old guitar
And the other one around my dear (yeah)
Yeah, way downtown, just foolin' around
They took me to the jail
It's oh me, and it's oh my
Ain't no one to go my bail
ย
Well, one old shirt is just about all I've got
And a dollar is all that I crave
Ain't brought nothing with me into this old world
Ain't gonna take nothing to my grave
Yeah, way downtown, just foolin' around
They took me to the jail
Oh me, and it's oh my
Ain't no one to go my bail
ย
Yeah, way downtown, just foolin' around
They took me to the jail
It's oh me, and it's oh my
Ain't no one to go my bail
Thank you
This next tune, we're
We both gotta keep using the same spot
We'll try this, uh
This thing here called, "Randall Collins"
