I lay down,
Down last night,
& tried to take my life,
When my soul shot me loose boy got to lose,
Take a stroll to Howdy High,
Oh lord strollin' by,
Oh lord Howdy High
I went down,
Down to the station,
& looked at the signs,
Buy your ticket it a cost you in,
Training all night long,
Oh lord all night long

Well I told you,
Oh my baby,
& I told you all night long,
If I catch you running round girl,
I'm gonna put you down,
Oh lord put you down

I lay down,
Down last night,
And I tried to take my life,
With s strong check this morning I got to,
Take a stroll to Howdy High,
Oh lord strollin' by,
Oh lord Howdy High
