Wail & Ride - Grayson Capps

Willie John, Willie John, I do belive it’s time

We head out in the woods, clear cut your pine

Purslane, Purslane, (I) do believe it’s true

We ain’t got no money, it’s, the thing we gotta do.

Willie John, Willie John, I do belive it’s time

You called up the doctor, 'to have this child of mine.

Purslane, Purslane, I’ll be by your side.

Ain’t no doctor coming, we’re gonna take a little ride

We’re gonna ride, wail and ride.

We’re gonna ride, wail and ride

Come on down, …by the riverside

Come on in, come on in, take you a swim

You can hang up all your clothes on that black willow limb

Muddy shores, muddy sores, clingin' 'tween my toes

Ain’t no tellin' where that muddy Missippi river flows

Winter sun, winter sun, shine, keep me warm

Got a boy child comin' early in the morn'.

We’re gonna ride, wail and ride.

We’re gonna ride, wail and ride

Come on down, …by the riverside

Dark eyes, dark eyes, what do you see?

See a newborn baby 'neath that black willow tree

Purslane, Purslane, I heard you wail

All the way down, that pine needle trail

AmWillie John, Willie John, I hear what you say

We gonna name that boy «Waylon» cause I was wailin' all the way

We’re gonna ride, wail and ride.

We’re gonna ride, wail and ride

Come on down, …by the riverside

We’re gonna ride, wail and ride.

We’re gonna ride, wail and ride

Come on down, …by the riverside
