Misheard Lyrics:

"Cincinnati Jail"
Misheard Lyrics:
Go downtown, so discouraged
Don't know what to do
Even Fred and all at once
Out there troubles brew.
Original Lyrics:
Oftentimes, so discouraged
Don't know what to do
Even friends and our loved ones
They have their troubles too.
"Whereever There's A Will, There's A Way"

Go downtown, so discouraged,

Even Fred and all at once
Out there troubles brew

Oftentimes, so discouraged,
don't know what to do
Even friends and our loved ones,
They have their troubles too

Story about this misheard lyric by: Sylvia Morris-Smith

I had the opportunity to ask Lonnie Mack personally about the lyrics and he supplied the above. It was quite a relief after 30 years. He also signed my album w/ the original recording on it. I didn't notice at the time that he signed his name and dated it 1974. (It was 1998)Ah, how time flies.
