Down, Down, Down Lyrics - Swordfishtrombones - Tom Waits

He went down down down 

and the devil called him by name 

he went down down down 

hangin' onto the back of a train 

he went down down down 

this boy went solid down 

always chewed tobacco 

and the bathtub gin 

always chewed tobacco 

and the bathtub gin 

he went down down down 

this boy went solid down 

he went down 

Well he went down down down 

and the jumped on his head 

he went down down down 

stayin' in a broken down shed 

he went down down down 

sleepin' in the devil's bed 

he went down down down 

never listened to the words i said 

he went down down down down 

he went down 

Well he went down down down 

and the devil said where you been 

he went down down down 

he screamin' down around the bend 

down down down 

this boy went solid down 

He was always cheatin' 

and he always told lies 

he was always cheatin' 

and he always told lies 

he went down down down 

down down down 

this boy went solid down 

he went down
