[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

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental]

[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
