Freddie Spruell Way Back Down Home
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
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
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
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
I'd just like to get another I really mean now from way
back down home
Crying hey listen operator 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
