CRUEL WILLIE
As recorded by Kenny & Amanda Smith Band on "Live and Learn" (2008)

Long ago there lived a man who courted all the women and they tell me Willie Duncan was his name,
And he had a mighty long string of sad women; oh, Willie was a devil; what a shame!
Katie Lou she was a handsome beauty from the valley and they say her hair was like a Georgia sun,
And her eyes were blue as all the heavens put together; she was just about as pretty as they come.

CHORUS: Cruel Willie, ain't you sad
For makin' all the women feel bad?
Cruel Willie, ain't you 'shamed
For causin' all the women all the pain?

Willie-boy was ridin' in his buggy one mornin' when he came across a darlin' Katie Lou,
And he was so overtaken by her special kind of beauty, he was barely heard to whisper: "How are you?"
Katie Lou smiled and said: "I don't believe you know me, but you knew my little sister very well.
She was just a special kind of sweet little lady till you hurt her more than words could ever tell."

CHORUS

Willie-boy smiled and said: "I don't believe you know me, for I've never hurt a woman in my life."
Then he leaned a little bit closer to kiss her and she stuck him the belly with a knife.
Now the wind it flutters ever gentle though the valley at the place where Willie's sleepin' in the ground,
And the words that're wrote upon the stone of Willie Duncan say: "One too many women got him down."

CHORUS TWICE
