the fable of willie brown

well i knew a boy named willie brown

he was a lover of our town

wherever he went the girls fell down

and cryed for willie brown

crazy about willie brown

tall and dark and lean and long

big as a bull and twice as strong

he loved the girls and turned them down

a sheek was willie brown

dang sheek willie brown

well a new girl moved in on our street

we knew that she and will would meet

but when we inquired around she had not met willie brown

she said who's willie brown

the prettiest girl you ever saw head to

toe without a flaw

when we met one night in town she fell for

willie brown

in love with willie brown

but the trouble was that

we all knew willie brown was falling too

then he announced

when june comes around

she'll marry willie brown

she's in love

with willie brown. but then the girl denied it all

she said

its true that i did fall but he took my love for granted now

to heck with willie brown

conceided willie brown

willie brown was shocked to learn that his love had at last been spearned

so on a hill ouside of town we buried willie brown

we buried willie brown
