Tony Joe White - Old Man Willis lyrics

Ungr Ungr Ungr Down in West Cow Parish 'bout twenty miles from Arkansas Lived a man and his wife and four or five childrens The wierdest people I ever saw Old man Willis That's what everybody called him He used to chase his young'uns and his wife With his Jim Bowie huntin' knife He had four coons a cat and a hound dog They stayed in the same house with him They ate from his dinner table Drank from his water bucket Slept in the same bed with him Old Man Willis Where do ya'all come from He used to chase his youg'uns and his wife With his double bladed sharp knife Lord mama says she thought the man was crazy Daddy said he's just a drunk Lord and some people say that he made his livin' Making whiskey in the Beff River swamps Old Man Willis Where do you get your BRead He used to chase his young'uns and his wife With his double bladed huntin' knife Lord we'd see him a comin' down a dirt road In his forty-nine Pontiac Just to getting it! And mama would holler ya'all get under the house Cause Mr. Willis drives like a maniac Old Man Willis Why do you drive so bad? He finally caught his young'uns and his wife And slate them with his huntin' knife Lord have mercy Willis! no no
