Willie Mae Blues

I've got a girl named Willie May
And she lives in the little low land
I've got a girl named Willie May
And she lives in the little low land
Lord the way I got that woman I declare I stoled her
From her man

All my life baby I've had to roam
All my life baby I've had to roam
Lord just on accout o' me
Breakin' up one poor man's home

Willie Mae, Willie Mae
Willie Mae, don't you hear me calling you
Lord if I don't get my Willie Mae
I declare that ain't no other woman will do

I get to thinkin' 'bout Willie Mae
Cold chills run up and down my spine
When I get to thinkin' 'bout Willie Mae
Cold chills run up and down my spine
Sometimes I wish that I was dead
But Willie Mae you know that I'm 'fraid of dyin'

I'm gonna leave here
Babe and I'm goin' on down the line
I'm gonna leave here
Willie Mae and I'm goin' on down the line
You know I don't do nothing here
Willie Mae but grief and cry
Willie Mae but grief and cry
