GOING DOWN IN TOWN [2]. AKA - "Git Along Down to Town," "Going Downtown." AKA and see "Lynchburg Town." American, Reel (cut time). A Major or G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. Wilson Douglas sang to the first strain:

I'm going downtown
I'm going downtown,
I'm going down to Lynchburg town,
Pick my tobaccer down.

Tobaccer's selling good this year,
A dollar-and-a-half a pound;
Leave me a knife, to cut it with,
And a man tote it around.

I'm gonna get some sticks and rocks,
To build my chimney higher;
Keep that ornery old tom cat
From puttin' out the fire.
