From the recording Full Circle
A Piedmont Blues style tale of a man dealing with the death of his love.
Lyrics
Going downtown gonna see my baby
Going downtown and I don’t mean maybe
Going Downtown to see my babe
Going downtown now gonna see my babe
Now Luther you always been a very close friend of mine
Now Luther you always been a very close friend of mine
Don’t you get in my way unless you feel like dyeing
Going downtown to see my baby
Going downtown and I don’t mean maybe
Going Downtown to see my babe
Going downtown now gonna see my babe
Now the Cemetery downtown she big and wide
Big and wide so my baby can’t hide
I’m going downtown to see my babe
Going downtown now gonna see my babe
Going downtown gonna see my baby
Going downtown and I don’t mean maybe
Going Downtown to see my babe
Going downtown now gonna see my babe
Gonna buy me a stone that’s high and wide
Gonna buy me a stone bury me inside
I’m going downtown to see my babe
I’m going downtown no gonna see my babe
I’m going downtown to see my babe
I’m going downtown to see my babe
Gonna buy me some flowers gonna get on my knees and pray
