Way Downtown Lyrics - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

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

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

No one to go my bail
