Lyrics:

Way downtown, foolin' around
Took me to the jail
Oh me, and it's oh my
Ain't no one to go my bail

It was late last night when Willie came home
I heard him a-rapping on the door
He is a-slipping and a-sliding with his new shoes on
Papa said Willie don't you rap no more

Way downtown, foolin' around
They took me to the jail
Oh me, and it's oh my
Ain't no one to go my bail

(Oh, ain't it sweet, that fiddlin')
(Let's hear you now, Les)

I wish I was over at my sweet Sally's house
Sittin' in that big armchair
One arm around my old guitar
And the other one around my dear

Way downtown, foolin' around
Took me to the jail
Oh me, and it's oh my
Ain't no one to go my bail

(Get it, Doc)
(Take another one)

Well, it's one old shirt is about all I got
And a dollar is all that I crave
'Cause I brought nothing with me into this old world
And ain't a-gonna take nothing to my grave

Way downtown, foolin' around
Took me to the jail
Oh me, and it's oh my
Ain't no one to go my bail

(Now toot that harmonica a little there)
(Let me hear that banjo too)

Way downtown, foolin' around
They took me to the jail
Oh me, and it's oh my
Ain't no one to go my bail
