Way down town foolin around
They took me to the jail
It's oh me and it's oh my
They're aint no one to go my bail
Late last night when little Willie got home
He's a knockin on the door
Slippin and a slidin with his new shoes on
Papa said Willie dont you rap no more
I wish I was down my sweet Sally's house
Sittin in that old rockin chair
One arm around my old guitar
And the other one around my dear
I come into this world with nothin on my back
And a dollar is all that I crave
I'm leavin this world with nothin on my back
Takin nothin to the grave
