Townes Van Zandt — Hey Willie Boy

Hey Willie boy, what you gonna do When the wind blows cold The moon turns blue? Build me a fire Gonna dance and sing A little bit of winter don't mean a thing A little bit of winter don't mean a thing Hey Willie, when the birds arrive The flowers bloom While the clouds float by Tell my puppies And my turtles and things All God's children need a little spring All God's children need a little spring Hey Willie boy, where you gonna go When the grass gets sticky And the wind blows slow? Down to the river Gonna jump right in A little bit of summer can't be no sin A little bit of summer can't be no sin Hey Willie, how you gonna feel When the leaves turn gold Beneath your heels? Twirl and spin, never gonna fall Fallin' just won't do at all No, that wouldn't do at all Hey Willie boy, how you gonna feel? Hey Willie boy, where you gonna go? Hey Willie boy, what you gonna do? It's time to go to sleep right now It's time to go to sleep right now
