Willie The Weeper Lyrics

Yonder comes Willie the weeper saddest looking sight in all the town
Had a new love but couldn't keep her now Willie's crying heart is broken downYou should have seen the smiling face that Willie wore
The day he found the thrill of her embrace
For the first time in his whole life Willie fell in love
But I took the smile right off of Willie's face took his place
Yonder comes Willie the weeper...I put on the smiling face that Willie wore and took her round for everyone to see
But she found someone else that she wanted more
Now Willis's smiling face laughs back at me look and see
I'm just like Willie the weeper saddest looking sight in all the town
Had a new love but couldn't keep her now mine and Willie's hearts are broken down

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Bunk Johnson

Willie Gary "Bunk" Johnson (December 27, 1879* – July 7, 1949) was a prominent early New Orleans jazz trumpet player in the early years of the 20th century who enjoyed a revived career in the 1940s. *Bunk gave the year of his birth as 1879, although there is speculation that he may have actually been younger by as much as a decade. Bunk received lessons from Adam Olivier and began playing professionally in Olivier's orchestra. Bunk probably played a few adolescent jobs with Buddy Bolden, but was not a regular member of Bolden's Band for any length of time (contrary to Bunk's claim).
