Way Back Down Home

I went to the Western Union, just to send up a telephone
I went to the Western Union, just to send up a telephone
I heard a fellow say in Memphis, I really mean I was dragged down home

Some people say that I'm right now, and some say I'm wrong
Some people say that I'm right now, and some say I'm wrong
You know I can't help but to study, when I really think about what it's like down home

I mean I'm used to drinking, and I'm used to seeing a great good time
I mean I'm used to drinking, and I'm used to seeing a great good time
Things happen way back down home now, they I declare they sure run across my mind

Now the ticket agent she told me, when the Western Union message give me my number wrong
Now the ticket agent she told me, when the Western Union message give me my number wrong
You sure can get your number, but you can't go hear my words back down home

Tell me now what's the matter, now darling something must a‑be going on wrong
Tell me now what's the matter, now darling something must a‑be going on wrong
I'd just like to get another I really mean now from way back down home

Live in the prairie now, don't you tell me wrong
Live in the prairie now, don't you tell me wrong
I must've didn't have the right number, when I went to the Western Union to the telephone
