Willie - Sammi Smith

Willie, ain’t you ever coming home

Today’s when you’re away much too long

The birds even sing a saddest song since you’re gone

Willie, ain’t you ever coming home?

My eyes grow tired from looking out the window

But my heart won’t beat up the other way

I watch the gate swing in the wind

It’s gonna fall the hinges are broken

Willie, ain’t you ever coming home?

Well, I realize the man in you just has to roam

But the woman in me need the man in you at home

I can take the bad times Willie but I can’t go on alone

Willie, ain’t you ever coming home…
