Way Down Songtext
von Earl Bostic

Say, would you like to hear
The story of a lover from his town?
Yes, he had plenty money and real good looks
And he thought he knew all that was in the books
But they cut him down
Way down, way down

Yes, he played the chicks
But they were slick
And they whittled him down real quick
When he got bold
They stopped him cold
And they took his gold
And watched him fold
Yes, they cut him down
Way down, way down


Yes, he started bettin′ the horses, gamblin' at Darcy′s
Losin' his money 'til it wasn′t even funny
Playin′ the numbers and hangin' out with the bummers
He just might′ve made it 'til they took him away
Yes, they cut him down
Way down, way down

Way down
My, how they cut him down
Way down
My, how they cut him down
Way down
Yes, they cut him down, yes, come on

Yes, way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down

They cut him down
My, how they cut him down
Yes, way down
My, how they cut him down
Yes, they cut him down
Way down
