Come let me tell you the story,

Willie was handsome as he could be,

he met a girl in society

to ride the fine chicks around

If he drove a girl to a drive-in,
E A
he'd have to go after dark
A D
He knew he'd always have to hide,
A E A
so he'd wind up sitting in the park.
A E
She caught him down by the water,
E A
lovin' the fisherman's daughter
A D
she pulled a little pistol from right out of the air,
A E A
and shot poor Willie right then and there.
A E
She planted him by the roadside,
E A
She planted him by the roadside,
A D
She planted him by the roadside,
A E A
for all the unfaithful husbands to see.
