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 cried 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: It’s true that I did fall

But he took my love for granted

Now to heck with Willie Brown

Conceded Willie Brown

Willie Brown was shocked to learn

That his love had at last been spurned

So on a hill ouside of town

We buried Willie Brown

We buried Willie Brown
