MANCE LIPSCOMB ~ Willie Poor Boy

Willie, Willie, Willie poor boy, do let my c'est la vie.
Yes i love my baby, god knows i do,
i love her 'til the sea go dry.
If i thought she didn't love me, i'd take morphine and i'd die.
Oh me, oh my, Good Lord remember me.
Went down to the ?????, get me a load of corn.
Well the raccoon sic'd his dog on me,
and that possumn blow'd his horn.
....Do Lord remember me....
I went down to New Orleans, didn't go down there to stay
I fell in love with a brown skin girl,
stayed there half of my days.
Oh me oh my, Willie poor boy, do let my C'est la vie.
Would'n I marry a knotty-headed girl,
tell you the reason why.
Cuz everytime she combed her hair, the knots begin to fly...
Now if i had a northern wife, I tell you what i'd do,
I'd take down to New Orleans, I'd trade her off for corn...
...Whoa mule... Oh mule....oh mule... That ol' mule...
...Hit that mule......???????????........Cross the hills...?????
Whoa mule....................
