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 !!!

Freddie Keppard

Freddie Keppard (sometimes rendered as Freddy Keppard) (February 27, 1890 - July 15, 1933) was an early jazz cornetist. Keppard was born in the Creole of Color community of downtown New Orleans, Louisiana. His older brother Louis Keppard was also a professional musician. Freddie played violin, mandolin, and accordion before switching to cornet. After playing with the Olympia Orchestra he joined Frankie Dusen's Eagle Band, taking the place recently vacated by Buddy Bolden. Soon after Bolden was off the music scene Keppard was proclaimed "King Keppard" as the city's top horn player.
