       A                E
Well I knew a boy named Willie Brown

D              A
He was a lover of our town

                     D
Wherever he went the girls fell down

    E                A
And cried for Willie Brown

E                  A
Crazy about Willie Brown

A                 E
Tall and dark and lean and long

D                 A
Big as a bull and twice as strong

                       D
He loved the girls and turned them down

  E                A
A sheik was Willie Brown

E              A
Dashing Willie Brown

       D                        A
Well a new girl moved in on our street

E                    A
We knew that she and Will would meet

                 D
But then when we inquired around

E                    A
She'd not met Willie Brown

           E            A
She said, "who's Willie Brown?"

A                      E
The prettiest girl you ever saw

D               A
Head to toe without a flaw

                D
When we met one night in town

    E               A
She fell for Willie Brown

   E                A
In love with Willie Brown

A                        E
But the trouble was that we all knew

D                A
Willie Brown was falling too

                       D
Then he announced when June comes around

       E            A
She'll marry Willie Brown

         E                A
She's in love with Willie Brown

    D                  A
But then the girl denied it all

    E                    A
She said, "its true that I did fall

                        D
But he took my love for granted now

   E                A
To heck with Willie Brown

   E            A
Conceited Willie Brown"

A                E
Willie Brown was shocked to learn

     D               A
That his love had at last been spurned

                D
So on a hill outside of town

   E             A
We buried Willie Brown

   E             A
We buried Willie Brown
