I Like It Down Here Lyrics by Will Kimbrough

I Like It Down Here

0

[Verse 1]
She asked me when’s the bad luck stop
When do we rise to the top
Well, it’s awful hard work pulling up the rear
She said now Honey don’t you wanna be a big success
Buy me a diamond and a wedding dress
So I leaned in close and I whispered in her ear

[Chorus 1]
I said I like it down here with the hobos and the drunks
Hard-bitten rabble with their leaving trunks
Blood in my mud and sawdust in my beer
I like a wake-up call at half-past one
If I had a job I’d’a get her done
I can catch real fine trash fish off the pier
I like it down here

[Verse 2]
She rolled her eyes and bit her lip
Let her skinny backbone slip
She lit a Chesterfield, church-keyed another beer
She smiled and said, "I must admit
"Always did like a man with grit"
Then she slapped my face and she called out with a sneer

[Chorus 2]
She said I like it down here, boss, just as much as you
Bilge water, bus tub stew
Got a three-legged dog and a one-eyed buccaneer
I like my homemade wine from a scuppernong
Smoking guns, drinking songs
Big steam trains with drunken engineers
Yes I like it down here
(I like it down here)

[Chorus 3]
I like it down here with the hookers and the whiskey priests
Bat chain pullers, the shiny beasts
Street life lovers with a tattoo of a tear
I want a woman with a face like a question mark
Who cleans up good when it’s nice and dark
A railroad flat with a monkey called "Belvedere"
Yes I like it down here
I like it down here
