Townes Van Zandt - Hey Willie Boy Lyrics

Hey Willie boy, what you gonna do?
When the wind blows cold the moon turns blue
Build me a fire gonna dance and sing
A little bit of winter don't mean a thing
A little bit of winter don't mean a thing

Hey Willie, when the birds arrive
The flowers bloom while the clouds float by
Tell my puppies and my turtles and things
All Gods children need a little spring
All Gods children need a little spring

Hey Willie boy, where you gonna go?
When the grass gets sticky and the wind blows slow
Down to the river gonna jump right in
A little bit of summer can't be no sin
A little bit of summer can't be no sin

Hey Willie, how you gonna feel?
When the leaves turn gold beneath your heels
Twirl and spin never gonna fall
Fallin' just won't do at all
No that wouldn't do at all

Hey Willie boy, how you gonna feel?
Hey Willie boy, where you gonna go?
Hey Willie boy, what you gonna do?
It's time to go to sleep right now
It's time to go to sleep right now
