Willie The Weeper - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Written by：Walter Melrose/M. Bloom/G.V. Rymal

Let me tell you 'bout willie the weeper

Willie the weeper was a chimney sweeper

He had the hop habit and he had it bad

Listen while I tell you 'bout a dream he had

Hi de hi de hi hi de hi de

Hi ho de ho de ho ho de ho de ho

Willie went to a hop joint late last night

He knew that the light would be burnin' bright

I guess he must've smoked a dozen pills or more

'Cause when he woke up he was on a foreign shore

Hi de hi de hi hi de hi de

Hi ho de ho de ho ho de ho de ho

The queen of belgium was the first he met

She called him darlin' and lovin' pet

She gave him a genuine ford automobile

With a diamond headlight and silver steering wheel

Hi de hi de hi hi de hi de

Hi ho de ho de ho ho de ho de ho

She had a million cattle and she had a million sheep

She had a million vessels in the ocean deep

She had a million dollars all in nickels and dimes

He knew it 'cause he counted them a million times

Hi de hi de hi hi de hi de

Hi ho de ho de ho ho de ho de ho

Willie got to new york one night late

He called his sugar baby up for a date

He got funny and began to shout

And blim blam bloom well the d**e give out

Hi de hi de hi hi de hi de

Hi ho de ho de ho ho de ho de ho
