|
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 |
