Chorus i:
Going down to town,
Pm going down to town.
Going down to the Lynchburg Town,
To take my tobacco down.
Chorus 2:
Times a-getting hard, Money getting sca'ce, Pay me for them tobacco, boys, And I will leave this place.
i Massa had an old gray horse, Took him down to town, Sold him for a half a dollar And only a quarter down.
2 Old massa had a brand-new coat And he hung it on the wall,
A nigger stole old massa's coat And wore it to the ball.
3 Old massa to the sheriff wrote And sent it by the mail,
Mr. Sheriff got old massa's note And put the thief in jail.
4 Old massa had a big brick house, 'Twas sixteen stories high, And every story in that house Was full of chicken pie.
5 Old massa was a rich old man He was richer than a king.
He made me beat the old tin pan While Sary Jane would sing. |
