[Verse 1]
GThat Jimmy Brown died at just 2G75
And Cthey lowered him under the Gground
Right at his head was a mark that had read
I leave the world Dyoung widow GBrown
He left her for me now it's plain to G7see
Just Cwhy old Jim ain't Garound
I know that I've tried but the man ain't alive
That can keep up with Dyoung widow GBrown
[Chorus]
That Cwoman she's crazy if she thinks
That I'll just Gkeep on a Dhanging GaroundG7  
I'd Cleave in a minute 'cept for one thing
That Gone thing is Dyoung widow GBrown
[Verse 2]
GIn her high stepping style she's a going hog wildG7  
This Cnight life is a whooping me Gdown
But if I lose a place then I'm out of the race
For kisses from Dyoung widow GBrown
I must be getting old my walk's getting G7slow
Just Cbarely can make it Garound
I work night and day spend all of my pay
On pretties for Dyoung widow GBrown
[Chorus]
That Cwoman she's crazy if she thinks
That I'll just Gkeep on a Dhanging GaroundG7  
I'd Cleave in a minute 'cept for one thing
That Gone thing is Dyoung widow GBrownG  D
