Lyrics
0:15Way downtown foolin' around
0:19Took me to the jail
0:23Oh me and it's oh my
0:26No one to go my bail
0:30It was late last night when Willie came home
0:34I heard him a-rapping on the door
0:37He's a-slipping and a-sliding with his new shoes on
0:40Mamma said Willie don't you rap no more
0:45Way downtown foolin' around
0:48Took me to the jail
0:52Oh me and it's oh my
0:56No one to go my bail
1:28I wish I was over at my sweet Sally's house
1:32Sittin' in that big armed chair
1:36One arm around my old guitar
1:39And the other one around my dear
1:43Way down town foolin' around
1:47Took me to the jail
1:51Oh me and it's oh my
1:54No one to go my bail
2:26Well it's one old shirt is all that I got
2:30And a dollar is all that I crave
2:34'Cause I brought nothing with me into this old world
2:37Ain't gonna take nothing to my grave
2:41Way down town foolin' around
2:45Took me to the jail
2:49Oh me and it's oh my
2:52No one to go my bail
3:11Way downtown foolin' around
3:14Took me to the jail
3:18Oh me and it's oh my
3:22No one to go my bail
Way downtown foolin' around Took me to the jail 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 foolin' around Took me to the jail Oh me and it's oh my No one to go my bail I wish I was over at my sweet Sally's house Sittin' in that big armed chair One arm around my old guitar And the other one around my dear Way down town foolin' around Took me to the jail Oh me and it's oh my No one to go my bail Well it's one old shirt is all that I got And a dollar is all that I crave 'Cause I brought nothing with me into this old world Ain't gonna take nothing to my grave Way down town foolin' around Took me to the jail Oh me and it's oh my No one to go my bail Way downtown foolin' around Took me to the jail Oh me and it's oh my No one to go my bail
