Lyrics
Chorus
You’ll see them
Going up the sawdust trail
Going up the sawdust trail
Men from Yale and men from jail
They start thinking, they’ll quit drinking
Going up the sawdust trail
They’ve got the devil by the tail
Old men, young men pledge their lives
Promise not to beat their wives
Till the Judgement day arrives
Going up the sawdust trail
Chorus
You’ll see them
Going up the sawdust trail
Going up the sawdust trail
Men from Yale and men from jail
They start thinking, they’ll quit drinking
Going up the sawdust trail
They’ve got the devil by the tail
Girls who powder, girls who paint
Girls who look like what they ain’t
They all pray until they faint
Going up the sawdust trail
