Willie Lyrics

WILLIE
Robert Earl Keen
(G) Hanging on the wall
Just like a (Am) thousand times you been there
a (C) picture of a (D) field of dande(G)lions
(G) and a young stud colt a-followin??
some ol?? (Am) cowboy on a brood mare
(C) Bound to make it (D) home by dinner (G) time
There??s a thunder head a-comin
This rain would do this dusty dirt some good
but it ain??t a cowboy's weather
so he nudges his old faithful
and turns around to call out to the stud
Chorus:
(G) Come on (Am) Willie
There??s a (G) dark cloud comin?? yonder
The (C) devil beats his (D) wife with a silver (G) chain
(G) Come on (Am) Willie
Boy, (G) can??t you hear the thunder
Your (C) ma and me don??t (D) travel well in (G) rain
It ain??t nothing much to look at
Just a print I got from grandma
A real west river cowgirl in her day
and sometimes I need religion
since the old girl??s gone before me
and that??s when I can hear the cowboy say
And now the western feelin??
has become another side show
a-sellin?? out the bygone days gone by
and we never know it??s rainin??
We can??t hear it for our thunder
We can??t see it for our clouds up in the sky
Your (C) ma and me don??t (D) travel well in (C) rain (G)
