Old Man Willis

(アルバム： ...Continued - 1969)

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 weirdest 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 hunting 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 living
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 hunting knife

Lord, we'd see him a coming 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 hunting knife
Lord have mercy
Willis! no no...
