'willie's Blues' Lyrics - 1959

[ Buy 'willie's Blues' ]

You know I want you to
Wash my clothes
I got to have you to
Keep and hold
Yes, I want yo' money, too
If I'm gonna give my youth to you
Youth to you

You know I want you to
Cook my bread
I got to have you to
Make my bed
Yes, I'll tell you what you do
If I'm gonna give my youth to you
Youth to you

Can tell by the way that I
Walk that walk
And you can see by the way
That I talk that talk
And you can know by the way
I hold a-out my hand
I think you should give me, ev'rything

I got to have you to treat me right
I really need you day and night
Yes, I want you to be true
If I'm gonna give my youth to you
Youth to you

(piano & instrumental)

A-you can tell by the way that I
Walk that walk
And you can see by the way
That I talk that talk
And then you know by the way
I hold out my hand
I think you should give me, ev'rything

I got to have you to
Cook my bread
I really need you to
Make my bed
Yes, I want yo' money, too
If I'm gonna give my youth to you
Youth to you

Youth to you

FADES:

Youth to you
Youth to you
Youth to you.
