Willie Gene (David Crosby)


Sometimes I think about folks back home
That twelve mile road now that I used to roam
Sometimes I think about a girl named Willie Gene
Did she ever get as far as New Orleans?

We used to watch a riverboat from a grassy bank
Drink hard water from a railway fillin' tank
Yes sometimes I think about sweet Willie Gene
Did she ever get as far as New Orleans?

People told me that I'd come to harm
Here I am now on this hot old county farm
Sometimes at night now I think about Willie Gene
And I wonder did she ever get as far as New Orleans?

"Preflyte"

Willie Jean (Hoyt Axton)


Sometimes I think about the folks back home
and the twelve mile road I used to roam
sometimes I think about a girl name Wille Jean
did she ever get as far as New Orleans?

We used to watch the riverboats from a grassy bank
yeah and drink hot water form a railway drain tank
sometimes I think about a girl name Wille Jean
did she ever get as far as New Orleans?

Sometimes I think about ol' Saturday's child
yeah and all the times we were runnin' wild
sometimes I think about a girl name Wille Jean
did she ever get as far as New Orleans?

People always told me, they said "Boy, you're gonna come to harm"
now look at me working here on this Hatfield county farm
sometimes I think about a girl name Willie Jean
did she ever get as far as New Orleans?
