(Mrs. Apple: "This is another very old song called, 'I Love Little Willy.'")

I love little Willy,
I do, Mamaw
I love little Willy,
I do, Mamaw,
I love little Willy,
And don’t you tell Pa.
For he wouldn’t like it,
Oh, would he, Mamaw?

I’m going with little Willy,
I am, Mamaw,
I’m going with little Willy,
I am, Mamaw.
I’m going with little Willy,
And don’t you tell Pa,
For he wouldn’t like it,
Oh, will he, Mamaw?

Oh, now we’re married,
We are, Mamaw.
Oh, now we are married,
We are, Mamaw.
Oh, now we’re married,
And you can tell Pa,
For he can’t help it,
Oh, can he, Mamaw?

(Dr. Wolf: "Yeah, that's a good one.")
