Hello For years I have listened to Freddie Kings original song GOing Down and wondered about the words. Does anyone have them? Know where I can get them? Thanks Forrest

I'm goin' down...I'm goin' down, down, down, down, down
(repeat)
I got my big feet in the window
And my head on the ground

She let me down, and closed that barn front door
(repeat)
I'm goin back to catch a new girl
unintelligible

(repeat first verse)

Maybe somebody can help us with that last line of the 2nd verse.

" . . . and close that box car door.

I'm going back to Memphis, sleep on sister Lucille's floor."

Going Down

by Nix
from various albums

I'm goin' down, down, down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down, down, down
I got my big feet in the window, my head is on the ground

Let me down and closed that box car door
Let me down and closed that box car door
I'm going back to Chattanooga and sweep up so sorry's floor

I'm goin' down, down, down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down, down, down
I got my big feet in the window, my head is on the ground

from Harry's Blues lyrics on line

Well I must say that some of these are better than what I have with

"I'm goin' back to San Francisco, my sweet lonsome drawbridge (is) there."

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

good work, Sorcha. That writer "Nix" would be Don Nix, I believe.

I've always loved this fine old blues tune whether done by Freddie King or by J.J. Cale. The words are partly an excuse for the two riffs it's built on (the mandolin-type tremolo and the sliding decending run) and partly old time country boy hokum humor (barn doors--"Honey, open the barn door the horsey's ready to ride").
