Willie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Willie ain't you ever coming home
Today's when you're away much too long
The birds even sing a saddest song since you're gone
Willie ain't you ever coming home
My eyes grow tired from looking out the window
But my heart won't beat up the other way
I watch the gate swing in the wind
It's gonna fall the hinges are broken
Willie ain't you ever coming home
Well I realize the man in you just has to roam
But the woman in me need the man in you at home
I can take the bad times Willie but I can't go on alone
Willie ain't you ever coming home
