Lyrics:

I got a gal named Willie Mae, and she lives in the low, low, land
I got a gal named Willie Mae, Lord, and she lives in the low, low, land
Lord, the way I got that woman, I declare I stole her from another man

All my life, baby, you know I've had to roam
All my life, baby, you know I've had to roam
Just on account o'me breaking that poor man's home

Willie Mae, Willlie Mae
Willie Mae, don't you hear me calling you?

Lord if I don't get my Willie Mae, I declare no other woman will do
When I get to thinkin' 'bout Willie Mae, cold chill run up and down my spine
When I get to thinkin' 'bout Willie Mae, cold chill run up and down my spine

Lord, sometimes I wished I was dead, 'cause Willie Mae you know I'm afraid of dyin'
I'm gonna leave here, I'm goin' on down the line
I'm gonna leave here, baby n' I'm goin' on down the line

Willie Mae you know I don't do nothin' here, Lord knows, but grieve and cry
Lord knows, but I grieve and cry
