Willie Earl

[VERSE]
Willie Earl was a mean old man, married to Shirley Anne.

Kept a bottle of red label Thunderbird, cradled in his hand.

Come home every Friday night stumbling drunk and put his hands on Shirley Ann.

old low down Willy Earl why you keep putting your hands on that girl.

They say you don't miss your water till the well  run dry.

That ain't no lie, one more black eye, and Willie Earl ain't gone have no girl

[Chorus]
Johnny Lee got Willie Earl s girl

[Verse 2]
Now y'all know Johnny Lee with a snag a teeth and a patch on his right eye.

Standing in a dark corner in the club, winking his good eye, giving ShirleyAnne rhe googly eye.

One of these days journey lee gone rock her world, and Willie Earl ain't gone have no girl 

[Chorus]
Johnny Lee got Willie Earl s girl
