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
