I said a-downtown, Cha Wailey

Goin' down by the police yard

Downtown, Cha Wailey

John Brown pulled a police gun

(We say, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

(Don't you know he's on the prowl)

John Brown, shot Wailey Routa

John Brown shot him with his gun

(Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

John Brown, shot Cha Wailey Routa

John Brown saw him with his gal

(John Brown's got a hoochie girl)

Well, I covered my hand's

Down on Mary Lou's

I saw the worried girl (pretty girl)

The child got out, Cha Wailey sees

How John Brown believed that girl

(Believed his girl)

I said now, downtown, Cha Wailey Routa

John Brown caught him with his girl (hoochie girl)

John Brown saw Wailey Routa

John Brown caught his hoochie girl

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

John Brown saw Wailey Routa

Down by his hoochi girl

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Downtown, shot Wailey Routa

Down by his hoochie girl

Sax-piano

I said downtown, Cha Wailey Routa

Don't follow girls, leave town

John Brown, Cha Wailey Routa

Now, don't follow hoochie girls

(Bm-bm-bm-bm)

A-well-a, downtown Cha Wailey Routa

He don't believe his girl

Now, the sun rises up, Cha Wailey Routa

No one could love his girl

(Bm-bm-bm-bm)

He said, a-downtown Cha Wailey Routa

Don't follow hoochie girls

(Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

Downtown, Cha Wailey Routa

Don't follow hoochie girls

(Yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-yeah)

Downtown, Cha Wailey Routa

Now, don't follow hoochie girls.
