Get Along Down Town

I wouldn't marry in the wintertime
Or the spring when the birdies call
Court them girls in the summertime
Leave them in the fall

Get along down town
        Get along down town
        Get along down to Newport town
        To lay my money down

Rich girl uses cold cream
Poor girl uses lard
My gal uses axle grease
But she rubs it twice as hard

Chorus

Beefsteak when I'm hungry
Whiskey when I'm dry
Greenback when I'm hard up
Heaven when I die

Chorus

I'd marry up with that girl of mine
Try to settle down
But everytime the wold goose calls
Get along down town

Chorus
