Billy Walker - 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

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 Willis'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
