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 Willie'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
