This is a morbid story about a fella that had to die,

He had a beautiful wife but he also had a roving eye.

She planted him by the roadside,

for all the unfaithful husbands to see.

Come let me tell you the story,
E A
of little Willie the Troubador
A D
And just how it happened to pass my friends,
A E A
little Willie won't see no more.
You know why?

Willie was handsome as he could be,
E A
he met a girl in society
A D
Thin Willie was cursed with a rovin' eye,
A E A
and never let a pretty chick pass by.
A E
So he bought himself a convertible bird,
E A
to ride the fine chicks around
A D
He found out he was being followed,
A E A
so he could never let the top down.
You know what happened to him?

If he drove a girl to a drive-in,
E A
he'd have to go after dark
A D
He knew he'd always have to hide,
A E A
so he'd wind up sitting in the park.
A E
She caught him down by the water,
E A
lovin' the fisherman's daughter
A D
she pulled a little pistol from right out of the air,
A E A
and shot poor Willie right then and there.
