VERSE:

A E

Well I knew a boy named Willie Brown

D A

He was a lover of our town

A D

Wherever he went the girls fell down

A E A

And cried for Willie Brown

E A

Crazy 'bout Willie Brown

Tall and dark and lean and long

Big as a bull and twice as strong

He loved the girls and he turned them down

A sheep was Willie Brown

Dashin' Willie Brown

REFRAIN:

A D A

Well a new girl moved in on our street

E A

We knew that she and Will would meet

A D

But then when we inquired around

E A

She'd not met Willie Brown

A E A

She said Who's Wille Brown

VERSE:

The prettiest girl you ever saw

Head to toe without a flaw

When they 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 fallin' too

Then he announed when June comes 'round

She'll marry Willie Brown

She's in love with Willie Brown

REFRAIN:

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

Conceeded Willie Brown

VERSE:

Willie Brown was shocked to learn

That his love had at last been spurn

So on a hill outside of town

We buried Willie Brown

We buried Willie Brown
