[VERSE 1]
Well I [A]knew a boy named [E]Willie Brown
[D]He was a lover [A]of our town
Wherever he went the [D]girls fell down
And [E]cried for Willie [A]Brown
[E]Crazy about Willie [A]Brown

[VERSE 2]
[A]Tall and dark and [E]lean and long
[D]Big as a bull and [A]twice as strong
He loved the girls and [D]turned them down
A [E]sheik was Willie [A]Brown
[E]Dashing Willie [A]Brown

[BRIDGE]
Well a [D]new girl moved in on our [A]street
[E]We knew that she and [A]Will would meet
But then when we [D]inquired around
[E]She'd not met Willie [A]Brown
She said, "[E]who's Willie [A]Brown?"

[VERSE 3]
[A]The prettiest girl you [E]ever saw
[D]Head to toe with[A]out a flaw
When we met one [D]night in town
She [E]fell for Willie [A]Brown
In [E]love with Willie [A]Brown

[VERSE 4]
[A]But the trouble was that [E]we all knew
[D]Willie Brown was [A]falling too
Then he announced when [D]June comes around
She'll [E]marry Willie [A]Brown
She's in [E]love with Willie [A]Brown

[BRIDGE]
But [D]then the girl denie[A]d it all
She [E]said, "its true that [A]I did fall
But he took my love for [D]granted now
To [E]heck with Willie [A]Brown
Con[E]ceited Willie[A] Brown"

[VERSE 5]
[A]Willie Brown was [E]shocked to learn
That [D]his love had at [A]last been spurned
So on a hill out[D]side of town
We [E]buried Willie [A]Brown
We [E]buried Willie [A]Brown
