I'm goin' down to Ponce
That's where I'll be found
Down to Ponce
That's where I'll be found
Gonna see my dear mother
Six feet underground
This easy livin' be the death of me
This easy livin' be the death of me
You can bury me
By that sweetgum tree
I'm gonna drink from that water flowin' from the stone
Drink from that water flowin' from the stone
And that mister consumption
Maybe he'll leave me alone
And I say aw
See that black cat climb that white oak tree
See that black cat climb that white oak tree
When she come down put that bad luck on me
I'm goin' down to Ponce
That's where I belong
Down to Ponce
That's where I belong
Cause that Chestnut Ridge woman
She done me wrong
And I say aw
That's where I'll be found
Down to Ponce
That's where I'll be found
Gonna see my dear mother
Six feet underground
This easy livin' be the death of me
This easy livin' be the death of me
You can bury me
By that sweetgum tree
I'm gonna drink from that water flowin' from the stone
Drink from that water flowin' from the stone
And that mister consumption
Maybe he'll leave me alone
And I say aw
See that black cat climb that white oak tree
See that black cat climb that white oak tree
When she come down put that bad luck on me
I'm goin' down to Ponce
That's where I belong
Down to Ponce
That's where I belong
Cause that Chestnut Ridge woman
She done me wrong
And I say aw
