Down, Down, Down

(album: Swordfishtrombones - 1983)

He went down down down
and the devil called him by name
he went down down down
hanging 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
staying in a broken down shed
he went down down down
sleeping 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 screaming down around the bend
down down down
this boy went solid down

He was always cheating
and he always told lies
he was always cheating
and he always told lies
he went down down down
down down down
this boy went solid down
he went down
