Wail & Ride Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Willie John, Willie John, I do belive it's time
We head out in the woods, clear cut your pine
(Verse 2)
Purslane, Purslane, (I) do believe it's true
We ain't got no money, it's, the thing we gotta do.
(Verse 3)
Willie John, Willie John, I do belive it's time
You called up the doctor, 'to have this child of mine.
(Verse 4)
Purslane, Purslane, I'll be by your side.
Ain't no doctor coming, we're gonna take a little ride
(Chorus)
We're gonna ride, wail and ride. We're gonna ride, wail and ride
Come on down, ........by the riverside
(Verse 5)
Come on in, come on in, take you a swim
You can hang up all your clothes on that black willow limb
(Verse 6)
Muddy shores, muddy sores, clingin' 'tween my toes
Ain't no tellin' where that muddy Missippi river flows
(Verse 7)
Winter sun, winter sun, shine, keep me warm
Got a boy child comin' early in the morn'.
(Chorus)
We're gonna ride, wail and ride. We're gonna ride, wail and ride
Come on down, ........by the riverside
(Instrumental)
(Verse 8)
Dark eyes, dark eyes, what do you see?
See a newborn baby 'neath that black willow tree
(Verse 9)
Purslane, Purslane, I heard you wail
All the way down, that pine needle trail
(Verse 10)
AmWillie John, Willie John, I hear what you say
We gonna name that boy "Waylon" cause I was wailin' all the way
(Chorus)
We're gonna ride, wail and ride. We're gonna ride, wail and ride
Come on down, ........by the riverside
(Chorus)
We're gonna ride, wail and ride. We're gonna ride, wail and ride
Come on down, ........by the riverside
