Sammi Smith – Willie lyrics

(Glenn Martin)

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?...
