Down the Old Plank Road

歌詞

I'd rather be in Richmond in all the hail and rain Than to be in Georgia wearin' a ball and chain Won't get drunk no more Won't get drunk no more Won't get drunk no more Way down the Old Plank Road I went down to Mobile, but I got on the gravel train Very next thing they heard of me, I was wearing a ball and chain Won't get drunk no more Won't get drunk no more Won't get drunk no more Way down the Old Plank Road Doney, oh dear Doney, what makes you treat me so Caused me to wear that ball and chain, now my ankle's sore Won't get drunk no more Won't get drunk no more Won't get drunk no more Way down the Old Plank Road Knoxville is a pretty place, Memphis is a beauty If you wanta see them pretty girls, hop to Chattanoogie Won't get drunk no more Won't get drunk no more Won't get drunk no more Way down the Old Plank Road I'm going to build me a scaffold on some mountain high So I can see my Doney girl as she goes riding by Won't get drunk no more Won't get drunk no more Won't get drunk no more Way down the Old Plank Road My wife died on Friday night, Saturday she was buried Sunday was my courtin' day, Monday I got married Won't get drunk no more Won't get drunk no more Won't get drunk no more Way down the Old Plank Road
