"Walking Willie Jones"



       g          d
He had a west texas weathered face
   em               c
an old straw hat he found someplace
                                     d
and his overalls never quite fit him right

           g                   d
and once a week he'd wear  his sunday best
          em                c
cause the Good Lord said to take a rest 
                                  d
and who was he to argue with such might.




              em               c              g             d
Then he would take his walking cane and walk, seven times around.
     em             c                 d     
and ask the Lord to bless the land he hoe'd
    em               c              g               d
and to this day they talk about old walking willie jones.
           c                                 d
and how he turned a field full of thorns and stones
          c            d                 g
into the finest place a man could hope to own.


they say he never was one to complain
when his well ran dry from the lack of rain
that crazy old coot just laughed and smiled.

he'd say it's ok there's a friend that knew
just exactly what he should do
and he was sure he'd go the extra mile 


Then he would take his walking cane and walk, seven times around.
and ask the Lord to bless the land he hoe'd
and to this day they talk about old walking willie jones.
and how he turned a field full of thorns and stones
into the finest place a man could hope to own.



 (Bridge)         
     em
and  folks would gather by his field
    c
and wonder what would be revealed
    g                                  d
the little kids would carry sticks for canes

         em
when the lightning fell from a cloudless sky
        c
they ran to find a place to hide
     g                                    d
they swear the Lord heard Willie pray for rain.




Then he would take his walking cane and walk, seven times around.
and ask the Lord to bless the land he hoe'd
and to this day they talk about old walking willie jones.
and how he turned a field full of thorns and stones
into the finest place a man could hope to own.
