verse 1 That Jimmy Brown died at just 25 And they lowered him under the ground Right at his head was a mark that had read I leave the world young widow Brown He left her for me now it's plain to see Just why old Jim ain't around I know that I've tried but the man ain't alive That can keep up with young widow Brown That woman she's crazy if she thinks That I'll just keep on a hanging around I'd leave in a minute 'cept for one thing That one thing is young widow Brown verse 2 In her high stepping style she's a going hog wild This night life is a whooping me down But if I lose a place then I'm out of the race For kisses from young widow Brown I must be getting old my walk's getting slow Just barely can make it around I work night and day spend all of my pay On pretties for young widow Brown That woman she's crazy if she thinks That I'll just keep on a hanging around I'd leave in a minute 'cept for one thing That one thing is young widow Brown
