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
