Willie The Weeper 1927

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 05 Aug 2002

Have you ever heard the story folks
of Willie The Weeper?
Willie's occupation was a chimney sweeper,
he had the dreamin' habit
and he had it bad
Listen and I'll tell you
'bout the dreams he had.
He dream'd he had a barr'l
of diamond rings and money,
Mammas by the score
to love and call him honey,
ev'rywhere he went
the people all would say,
there's the guy
that put the B in old Broadway.

Oh Baby tell me what would you do
if you could have all your dreams come true
There's something tells me
you lock'd your door
like Willie the Weeper and cry for more.

Oh Baby tell me what would you do
if you could have all your dreams come true
There's something tells me
you lock'd your door
like Willie the Weeper and cry for more.

Then he went to London Town
and bought the Picadilly,
told the people that it now belonged to Willie,
He bought the King some ginger beer
that made him rave
Called him 'Uncle George', and said:
"You need a shave."
He rambled into Paris
on a goldenwheeled sleeper,
that's the place that absinthe
flows a little deeper,
learned the 'Pache dance
and just to show his thanks,
tipped the 'Pache queen
a half a million francs.

Oh Baby tell me what would you do
if you could have all your dreams come true
There's something tells me
you lock'd your door
like Willie the Weeper and cry for more.

Oh Baby tell me what would you do
if you could have all your dreams come true
There's something tells me
you lock'd your door
like Willie the Weeper and cry for more.
