Willie

Robert Earl Keen

[Verse 1]
Hanging on the wall just like a thousand times you been there
A picture of a field of dandelions
And a young stud colt a-followin' some ol' cowboy on a brood mare
A-bound to make it home by dinner time

[Verse 2]
There's a thunderhead a-coming from the west and he's sure thinking
The rain would do this dusty dirt some good
But it ain't a cowboy's weather so he nudges his old faithful
And turns around to call out to the stud

[Chorus]
Come on Willie, there's a black cloud coming yonder
The devil beats his wife with a silver chain
Come on Willie, boy can't you hear the thunder
Your ma and me don't travel well in rain

[Verse 3]
It ain't nothing much to look at, just a print I got from grandma
A real west river cowgirl in her day
And sometimes I need religion since the old girl's gone before me
And that's when I can hear the cowboy say

[Chorus]
"Come on Willie, there's a black cloud coming yonder
"The devil beats his wife with a silver chain
"Come on Willie, boy can't you hear the thunder
"Your ma and me don't travel well in rain"

[Verse 4]
And now the western feeling has become another sideshow
Selling out the bygone days gone by
And we never know it's raining, we can't hear it for our thunder
We can't see it for our clouds up in the sky

[Chorus]
Come on Willie, there's a black cloud coming yonder
The devil beats his wife with a silver chain
Come on Willie, boy can't you hear the thunder
Your ma and me don't travel well in rain
Your ma and me don't travel well in rain
