Way Down the Old Plank Road - Uncle Dave MacOn/Joseph Falcon
Rather be in richmond
With all the hail and rain
Than to be in Georgia boys wearin'
That 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
Had on that 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
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 wanna 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
Eighteen pounds of meat a week
Whiskey here to sell
How can a young man stay at home
Pretty girls look so well
Won't get drunk no more
Won't get drunk no more
Won't get drunk no more
Way down the old plank road
Are you will
