Lyrics
Willow Weep Blues
When your woman is lying moaning on that bed,
and you're children are crying, and all she
wants is your bread.
Oh lord what can I do
She's still in love with that silver spoon,
and I'm so tired, oh Lord I'm tired.
Rainy morning, you know it rained all night.
Rainy morning, put your daughter down deep.
Let the sky turn to thunder,
Lamenting willow weep.
Don't need no money, girl has gone away.
If I had some, It wouldn't buy another day
cause I'm so tired, yes I'm so tired,
Oh Lord I'm tired.
