Tavern Choir: Everyone suspected ole Willie’s time was near ‘Cause lately he’d been talkin’ ‘bout the Lord & leavin’ here He said if I fight the devil when I die I know I’ll lose To sing my soul to Heaven ‘for the devil gets the news Well, everybody cried when poor ole Willie died And his old flat top guitar was that all Willie left behind They took it to the graveyard when they laid him down to rest Someone tuned it up and answered Willie’s last request Chorus: The Tavern choir from Marvin’s Bar on Wine St. gathered ‘round They believe Willie’s soul passed through Heaven’s golden gate Before his body touched the ground They sang “Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound” I come to the garden alone The Tavern choir from Marvin’s Bar on Wine St. sang ole Willie home There’s an ole flat top guitar on the wall behind the bar And somewhere there’s a twinkle in a far distant star Now that ole Satan raised some Hell when he finally got the news That the only soul that Willie left Was on a pair of his worn out shoes Repeat Chorus We believe they sang ole Willie home |
