Tavern Choir:
2
Everyone suspected ole Willie’s time was near
3
‘Cause lately he’d been talkin’ ‘bout the Lord & leavin’ here
4
He said if I fight the devil when I die I know I’ll lose
5
To sing my soul to Heaven ‘for the devil gets the news
6
Well, everybody cried when poor ole Willie died
7
And his old flat top guitar was that all Willie left behind
8
They took it to the graveyard when they laid him down to rest
9
Someone tuned it up and answered Willie’s last request
10
Chorus:
11
The Tavern choir from Marvin’s Bar on Wine St. gathered ‘round
12
They believe Willie’s soul passed through Heaven’s golden gate
13
Before his body touched the ground
14
They sang “Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound”
15
I come to the garden alone
16
The Tavern choir from Marvin’s Bar on Wine St. sang ole Willie home
17
There’s an ole flat top guitar on the wall behind the bar
18
And somewhere there’s a twinkle in a far distant star
19
Now that ole Satan raised some Hell when he finally got the news
20
That the only soul that Willie left
21
Was on a pair of his worn out shoes
22
Repeat Chorus
23
We believe they sang ole Willie home
