[Verse 1]
G G7
That Jimmy Brown died at just 25
C G
And they lowered him under the ground
Right at his head was a mark that had read
D G
I leave the world young widow Brown
G7
He left her for me now it's plain to see
C G
Just why old Jim ain't around
I know that I've tried but the man ain't alive
D G
That can keep up with young widow Brown
[Chorus]
C
That woman she's crazy if she thinks
G D G G7
That I'll just keep on a hanging around
C
I'd leave in a minute 'cept for one thing
G D G
That one thing is young widow Brown
[Verse 2]
G G7
In her high stepping style she's a going hog wild
C G
This night life is a whooping me down
But if I lose a place then I'm out of the race
D G
For kisses from young widow Brown
G7
I must be getting old my walk's getting slow
C G
Just barely can make it around
I work night and day spend all of my pay
D G
On pretties for young widow Brown
[Chorus]
C
That woman she's crazy if she thinks
G D G G7
That I'll just keep on a hanging around
C
I'd leave in a minute 'cept for one thing
G D G G D
That one thing is young widow Brown
