Way downtown just fooling around
They 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 them new shoes on
Momma said Willie don't you rap no more
Way downtown just fooling around
They 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
Sitting in that big armed chair
One arm around this old guitar
And the other one around my dear
Way downtown just fooling around
They took me to the jail
Oh me and it's oh my
No one to go my bail
Now it?s one old shirt is bout 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 downtown just fooling around
They took me to the jail
Oh me and it's oh my
No one to go my bail
