Young Widow Brown (1967) Songtext
von Waylon Jennings

(Waylon Jennings - Ray Corbin)

That Jimmy Brown died at just 25
And they lowered him under the ground
Right at his head was a mark that had read
I leave the world young widow Brown.

He left her for me now it′s plain to see
Just why old Jim ain't around
I know that I′ve tried but the man ain't alive
That can keep up with young widow Brown.


That woman she's crazy if she thinks
That I′ll just keep on a hanging around
I′d leave in a minute 'cept for one thing
That one thing is young widow Brown.

--- Instrumental ---

In her high steppin′ style she's a goin′ hog wild
This night life is a whoopin' me down
But if I lose a place then I′m out of the race
For kisses from young widow Brown.

I must be gettin' old my walk's gettin′ slow
Just barely can make it around
I work night and day spend all of my pay
On pretties for young widow Brown.


That woman she′s crazy if she thinks
That I'll just keep on a hanging around
I′d leave in a minute 'cept for one thing
That one thing is young widow Brown...
