Down N' Dirty - Mickey Newbury

When the blues got you down

When not a good friend can be found

Grab (?) your hair, put on your shoes

Trek on up downtown

You need that down and dirty honky tonkin' song

You need that down and dirty honky tonkin' song

One night will cheer your heart and cut you to the bone

The key of E, I have found, is just like whiskey

Going down, going out to have some fun

Tonight, to ride down and dirty

Honky tonkin' song

Down and dirty honky tonkin' song

Cut your heart and cheer you to the bone

Cuz when the blues got you down

Not a good friend can be found

Put on your shoes, put on your coat

Trek on up downtown

You need some down and dirty honky tonkin' songs

Down and dirty honky tonkin' songs…

…Cut your heart and cheer you to the bone
