Old Man Willis (Album Version) - Tony Joe White

Down in West Carrol Parish

About 20 miles from Arkansas

Lived a man and his wife and four five children's

The weirdest people I ever saw

Old Man Willis

That's what everybody called him

He use to chase his young'uns and his wife

With a Jim Bowie huntin' knife

He had four coons a cat and a hound-dog

They stayed in the same house with him

Th'ate from his dinner table

Drank from his water bucket

Slept in the same bed with him

Haa

Old man Willis

Where do y'all come from

He used to chase his young'uns and his wife

With his double-bladed sharp knife

Lord now mamma said she thought the man was crazy

Daddy said he's just a drunk haa haa

Lord Some people said that he made his livin'

Makin' whiskey in the Boeuf River swamps

Old Man Willis

Where did you get your bread

He used to chase his young'uns and his wife

With his double-bladed huntin' knife

Lord we'd see him a comin' down the dirt road

In his '49 Pontiac

Just a getting' it

An' momma would holler y'all get under the house

'Cause Mr Willis drives like a maniac

Old Man Willis

Why do you drive so bad

He finally caught his young'uns and his wife

And slayed um' with his huntin' knife

Lord have mercy
