I lay down,
down last night,
& tried to take my life,
when my soul shot me loose boy got to lose,
take a stroll to Howdy High,
oh lord strollin' by,
oh lord Howdy High.
I went down,
down to the station,
& looked at the signs,
buy your ticket it a cost you in,
training all night long,
oh lord all night long.

Well I told you,
oh my baby,
& I told you all night long,
if I catch you running round girl,
I'm gonna put you down,
oh lord put you down.

I lay down,
down last night,
and I tried to take my life,
with s strong check this morning I got to,
take a stroll to Howdy High,
oh lord strollin' by,
oh lord Howdy High.
