Subject: RE: Willy ( willie )
Thanks to all for help on "death of Willie" but so far no go.
Certain lyrics I remember are:


They knew that he was dyin' by the freckles on his breath.
His eyeballs were draggin' in the mud.

No more upon the mat will he tease poor pussy cat.
Our darlin' blue-eyed boy has kicked the bucket.
Bang, bang.


It is more a hillbilly song than country and was sung by Bob Dyer, an American, who migrated to Australia after WWII.
