Down the road, down the road
    got a little pretty girl, down the road



Now down the road just a mile or two
There's a little girl named "purty blue"
Bout so high and her hair is broun
Purtiest thing, boy, in this town



  * Refrain



Now anytime you want to know
Where I'm heading it's down the road
See that girl on the line
You'll find her there most any ol' time



  * Refrain



Now everyday at sunday school
I go to see my purty blue
Before you hear that rooster crow
You'll see me headed down the road



  * Refrain



Clearin' your eggs drawn over the farm
From the hogwalk through the barn
From the barn to the rail
Man is living by curling mail



  * Refrain
