VG note:Following from: Allen`s archive of early and old
country music.
(Played by Jerry Garcia with Marshall Leicester and Robert
Hunter at the Carlos Bookstall in July 1961. It often
circulates on tapes as "No One To Stand By Me." Other titles
include "Way Down Town." Thanks to Matt Schofield for the
lyrics.)

John on the Morning Bugle album. There are scores of variations of this song
but those should be reserved for other fora.

Late last night when my Willie come home
G7
and I heard this mighty rapping on the door
C F C
Slipping and a sliding with his new shoes on
G7 C
Willie don't you rap no more
Chorus
C F C
Oh me, oh my
G7
What's going to become of me
C F C
I's downtown, just a fooling around
G7 C
Mama don't you cry for me
I know just what you promised me
Not more than three weeks ago
You promised that you'd marry me
Standing there on your mama's kitchen floor
(chorus)
Now if I'd listened to what my mama said
I wouldn't be sitting here tonight
Picking and a singing on this old banjo
Mama don't you cry for me
(chorus)
