That Jimmy Brown died at just 25 |
|
And they lowered him under the ground |
|
Right at his head was a mark that had read |
|
I leave the world young widow Brown. |
|
He left her for me now it's plain to see |
|
Just why old Jim ain't around |
|
I know that I've tried but the man ain't alive |
|
That can keep up with young widow Brown. |
|
That woman she's crazy if she thinks |
|
That I'll just keep on a hanging around |
|
I'd leave in a minute 'cept for one thing |
|
That one thing is young widow Brown. |
|
In her high steppin' style she's a goin' hog wild |
|
This night life is a whoopin' me down |
|
But if I lose a place then I'm out of the race |
|
For kisses from young widow Brown. |
|
I must be gettin' old my walk's gettin' slow |
|
Just barely can make it around |
|
I work night and day spend all of my pay |
|
On pretties for young widow Brown. |
|
That woman she's crazy if she thinks |
|
That I'll just keep on a hanging around |
|
I'd leave in a minute 'cept for one thing |
|
That one thing is young widow Brown... |
