Down N’ Dirty
Mickey Newbury
When the blues got you down
When not a good friend can be found
Grab (?) your hair, put on your shoes
Trek on up downtown
You need that down and dirty honky tonkin' song
You need that down and dirty honky tonkin’ song
One night will cheer your heart and cut you to the bone
The key of E, I have found, is just like whiskey
Going down, going out to have some fun
Tonight, to ride down and dirty
Honky tonkin' song
Down and dirty honky tonkin' song
Cut your heart and cheer you to the bone
Cuz when the blues got you down
Not a good friend can be found
Put on your shoes, put on your coat
Trek on up downtown
You need some down and dirty honky tonkin’ songs
Down and dirty honky tonkin' songs...
...Cut your heart and cheer you to the bone
