Lyrics Rayland Baxter – Willy’s Song
Text:
Willy was from Birmingham
Had the world in his hand
An office job, a bank account, and a pretty wife
Friday would come too soon
His old lady never knew
What he was talkin’ about
Don’t you fly away, boy
Don’t you fly away
Don’t you fly away, boy
You know, everything will be okay
Yeah, everything will be okay
Monday and he’s back to work
Shiny shoes, a tie and a shirt
Everybody loved him so
He had a beautiful smile
A good rapport, a pat on the back
Got his name on the company plaque
But nobody seemed to know
That Willy could fly
Oh, but don’t you fly away, boy
Don’t you fly away
Don’t you fly away, boy
You know, everything will be okay
Yeah, everything will be okay
Willy was a noble man
When he lived in Birmingham
But he was losin’ his mind
In a world of his own
Willy left on a rainy day
But nobody knew that Willy could fly
Oh, but don’t you fly away, boy
Don’t you fly away
Don’t you fly away, boy
You know, everything will be okay
Yeah, everything will be okay
Oh, won’t you stay, Willy stay?
Yeah, everything will be okay
