Lyrics Willie the Weeper - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Let
me
tell
you
'bout
Willie
the
weeper
Willie
the
weeper
was
a
chimney
sweeper
He
had
the
hop
habit
and
he
had
it
bad
Listen
while
I
tell
you
'bout
a
dream
he
had
Hi-de-hi-de-hi
(Hi-de-hi-de-hi)
Ho-de-ho-de-ho
(Ho-de-ho-de-ho)
Willie
went
to
a
hop-joint
late
last
night
He
knew
that
the
light
would
be
burnin'
bright
I
guess
he
must've
smoked
a
dozen
pills
or
more
'Cause
when
he
woke
up
he
was
on
a
foreign
shore
Hi-de-hi-de-hi
(Hi-de-hi-de-hi)
Ho-de-ho-de-ho
(Ho-de-ho-de-ho)
The
queen
of
Belgium
was
the
first
he
met
She
called
him
her
darlin'
and
her
lovin'
pet
She
gave
him
a
genuine
Ford
automobile
With
a
diamond
headlight
and
silver
steering
wheel
Hi-de-hi-de-hi
(Hi-de-hi-de-hi)
Ho-de-ho-de-ho
(Ho-de-ho-de-ho)
She
had
a
million
cattle
and
she
had
a
million
sheep
She
had
a
million
vessels
in
the
ocean
deep
She
had
a
million
dollars
all
in
nickels
and
dimes
He
knew
it
'cause
he
counted
them
a
million
times
Hi-de-hi-de-hi
(Hi-de-hi-de-hi)
Ho-de-ho-de-ho
(Ho-de-ho-de-ho)
Willie
got
to
New
York
one
night
late
He
called
his
sugar
baby
up
for
a
date
He
got
funny
and
began
to
shout
And
blim-blam-bloom,
well,
the
dope
give
out
Hi-de-hi-de-hi
(Hi-de-hi-de-hi)
Ho-de-ho-de-ho
(Ho-de-ho-de-ho)
