Lyrics
Way downtown, foolin' around
Took me to the jail
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-rapping on the door
He was a-slipping and a-sliding with his new shoes on
Papa said, "Willie, don't you rap no more"
Way downtown, foolin' around
Took me to the jail
Oh me and it's oh my
Ain't no one to go my bail
Oh, ain't that sweet? That's pretty
Let's hear you now, Les
I wish I was over at my sweet Sally's house
A-sittin' in that big arm chair
One arm around my old guitar
And the other one around my dear
Way downtown, foolin' around
Took me to the jail
Oh me and it's oh my
Ain't no one to go my bail
Hit it, Doc
Take another one
Well, this one old shirt is about all I've got
And a dollar is all that I crave
'Cause I brought nothing with me into this old world
And ain't gonna take nothing to my grave
Way downtown, foolin' around
Took me to the jail
Oh me and it's oh my
Ain't no one to go my bail
Now toot that harmonica a little there
Let me hear that banjo too
Way downtown, foolin' around
Took me to the jail
Oh me and it's oh my
Ain't no one to go my bail
