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
