It was late last night when ol' Willie come home

  A                          D7
I heard him a-rappin' on the door

He's a-slippin' and a-slidin' with them new shoes on

Well, I wish I was over at my sweet Sally's house

A                      D7
Sittin' in that big armchair

G                 D
One arm around my old guitar

        A                   D    D7
And the other one around my dear

Well, it's one old shirt, it's about all I've got

      A               D7
And a dollar is all I crave

  G                         D
I brought nothin' with me into this old world

      A                    D    D7
Ain't takin' nothin' to my grave

Took me to the jail

Ain't no one to go my bail (Let's hear that banjo)
