Am C G Am G Am Em G
AmI wCenGt Amdown to Taneytown, I went down to Taneytown
TAmo sGee AmwhEmat GI could see
MAmy mCamGa Amtold me never go, I?m damned near twenty-two years old
SAmome GtAmimeEms I Gfeel this hollow swallowing me.
Ma went off to Gettysburg, her and that new beau of hers, I snuck off after dark.
It?s a long way down the Canny Road, the stars were bright & the moon was low,
Down where the blacktop highway starts.
Chorus. I went down to Taneytown, I went down to Taneytown,
I went down to see what I could see.
Now everybody stared at me, you?d think that they ain?t never seen,
A colored boy before.
Well, they jumped at me and they called me names,
they?d a whupped me sure, but the sheriff came,
I slipped off and ran through the drygoods store.
I ran down Division Street, but some of them boys followed me,
Down to the railroad track.
There was four of them & I came five, but I got my old Randall knife,
I cut that boy & I never did look back.
Chorus.
