[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
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?"
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Bridge]
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"
[Verse 5]
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
