    Way Downtown 
     
    Chorus: 
    4                        1 
    Way downtown, fooling around 
    5                      1 
    Took me to the jail 
         4                      1 
    It’s oh me and it’s oh my, 
             5                        1 
    Ain’t no one to go my bail 
     
           4                               1 
    Well late last night when Willie came home 
       5                                         1 
    I heard him a­rapping on the door 
    4                                              1   
    Slipping and a­sliding with his new shoes on, (and she says) 
    5                                  1 
    Willie don’t you rap no more 
    (Chorus)   
     
    I wish I was over at my sweet Sallie’s house, 
    Sittin’ in that big armchair 
    One arm around this old guitar 
    And the other one around my dear 
    (Chorus) 
     
    One old shirt is about all I have 
    And a dollar is all I crave 
    Ain’t brought nothing with me into this world 
    Ain’t gonna take nothing to the grave 
    (Chorus)
