I love my girl as much as I can
but I won't punch cattle for no damn man
goin' downdown tonight
you stayed out last night spending my money
now all the boys are calling you honey
goin' downtown tonight
tell me baby, how did you know
I really didn't have any dough
goin' downtown tonight
you hair was messy and your shirt was torn
your pant legs frayed and your shoes were worn
goin' downtown tonight
goin' downtown with my ten dollar bill
gonna look for a woman and drink up my fill
when all my money is gone would you buy me a drink
if you could,I'd be thankful if you would
smokin' that plant, pokin' that hay
makin' that fourty-five dollars a day
goin' downtown tonight
I need me a woman that won't say no
I need me a gal that knows how to sew
goin' downtown tonight
I woke up last night in the middle of a dream
ain't had a woman since late last spring
goin' downtown tonight
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven
I won't go to hell and I can't go to heaven
goin' downtown tonight
goin' downtown with my ten dollar bill
gonna look for a woman and drink up my fill
when all my money is gone would you buy me a drink
if you could, I'd be thankful if you would
