Willie The Weeper lyrics
Yonder comes Willie the weeper*
Saddest looking sight in all the town
Had a new love but couldn't keep her
Now Willie's crying heart is broken down.
You should have seen the smiling face that Willie wore
The day he found the thrill of her embrace
For the first time in his whole life Willie fell in love
But I took the smile right off of Willie's face took his place.
Yonder comes Willie the weeper
Saddest looking sight in all the town
Had a new love but couldn't keep her
Now Willie's crying heart is broken down.
I put on the smiling face that Willie wore
And took her round for everyone to see
But she found someone else that she wanted more
Now Willie's smiling face laughs back at me look and see.
I'm just like Willie the weeper
Saddest looking sight in all the town
Had a new love but couldn't keep her
Now mine and Willie's hearts are broken down...
